FAZ.NET

Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung

When looking at the German newspaper landscape, it is often ignored that most German quality newspapers gain more digital readers than they lose on paper. In comparison with the competitors, FAZ.net overtook the Süddeutsche.de in June 2018 for the first time, and recorded an increase in the number of users by 12.4 percent. With 31.91 million PIs, the app FAZ.net contributed to this success significantly.
