- Solid Magazine
I have a subscription to Der Spiegel and the quality of the magazine is prima.Very high-level stuff in every magazine and covers a very broad variety of topics.I agree with the other reviewers that the magazine leans left, as the German population itself does.As a Republican myself, I sometimes find the political orientation of Der Spiegel to be somewhat annoying (its transparently biased view on Obama over McCain, for instance), but the magazine is an important source for left-leaning perspectives ...

- A True News Magazine
I've been reading "Der Spiegel" for over 30 years. To compare "Der Spiegel" to "Time", as it is today, is like comparing "Time" to a comic book. They are in a different league all together. The depth in the articles in "Der Spiegel" are way above other magazines. Some have said it has a "left" leaning.

By the way, I also love the Economist. In general, however, I think the neoclassical approach of the Economist differs significantly from the perceptively left-leaning, liberal Spiegel.

- Blasphemy
As a long time reader of both, Der Spiegel as well as The Economist, reading the above reviews considering Der Spiegel a German "version" of The Economist made me smile.
Guys, stay serious. This is just not true.
While The Economist provides in-depth analysis of foreign affairs, of political and economical problems all over the world, Der Spiegel focuses on events in Germany as well as events concerning Germany in some way. There is no broad coverage of topics not related to German daily ... Read More
