taz

About

taz (die tageszeitung), founded in West Berlin in 1979, is a German left-wing daily newspaper. Organized as a cooperative owned by over 20,000 reader-shareholders — the largest media cooperative in Germany. Born from the alternative and green movements of the late 1970s. Known for provocative headlines and covers.

Editorially left-wing and green, taz is consistently critical of conservative politics, corporate power, and militarism. Champions environmental causes, social justice, and minority rights. Frequently clashes with mainstream German political consensus on security and economic policy.
