DIE WELT

'''Die Welt''' (English: ''The World'') is a German national daily newspaper published by the Axel Springer AG company.
It was founded in Hamburg in 1946 by the British occupying forces, and it takes a self-described "liberal cosmopolitan" position in editing, but '' Die Welt'' is considered to be a conservative newspaper.
The newspaper currently publishes a compact edition entitled ''Welt Kompakt,'' a 32-page cut-down version of the main broadsheet.
The average circulation of ''Die Welt'' is currently about 209,000 and the paper can be obtained in more than 130 countries. Daily regional editions appear in Berlin and Hamburg, and in 2002 the paper experimented with a Bavarian edition. A daily regional supplement also appears in Bremen. The main editorial office is in Berlin, in conjunction with the ''Berliner Morgenpost''.
''Die Welt'' is the flagship newspaper of the Axel Springer publishing group. Its leading competitors are the ''Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung'', the ''Süddeutsche Zeitung'' and the Frankfurter Rundschau. Financially, it has been a lossmaker for many years.
''Die Welt'' was a founder member of the European Dailies Alliance (EDA), and has a longstanding co-operation with comparable daily newspapers from other countries, including the ''Daily Telegraph'' (UK), ''Le Figaro'' (France) and ''ABC'' (Spain).
The paper does not appear on Sundays, but the linked publication ''Welt am Sonntag'' takes its place.
