The traditional 'Stern' is one of the three major German news magazines and presents a special mix of topics. The 'Stern' combines the major topics from politics, business and society with additional content and combines investigative journalism with high-quality photojournalism. Large, topical and often exclusive stories find their way into the magazine and are supplemented by short reports. With a clear stance on the relevant social issues, they explain current developments, expose backgrounds and show connections.
