1. Die Tageszeitung (taz). I consider it a small newspaper....but probably sells in circulation around 50k daily. Influential for the left-wing....pro-Green Party, hypes social justice and covers a good bit on environmental issues.
2. Neues Deutschland (ND). Mostly read in eastern Germany....maybe around 15k in readership. Left-wing paper....pro-Linke Party. If you wanted a bit of anti-capitalism....I'd start here.
3. Frankfurter Rundschau (FR). Readership up around 80k. I'd identify it as a intellectual news source....leaning left. Hypes a good bit on civil rights.
4. Süddeutsche Zeitung (SZ). Readership around 350k to 400k. Bavarian center-left newspaper. Does a lot of cultural stories and investigative journalism.
5. Berliner Zeitung. Readership in the 80k to 90k range. Center-left. Covers a lot of Berlin cultural items/trend. I should note....this started out decades ago....as a DDR or East German newspaper.
6. Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung (WAZ) . News-news type of paper....not a lot of politics. Center-slant if you find anything mentioned. Serves NW Germany. Readership up around 400k.
7. Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) . Major paper of Frankfurt region....mostly center-right. Readership up around 250k. If you were looking for a pro-CDU paper....this probably fits your mindset. I should add....lot of commerce/business coverage daily.
8. Bild. Considered most read daily newspaper in the country....near 1.2-million readers. Tabloid type paper....leans right. Pro-CDU. I'd consider it to be anti-establishment in reading. Typically....if you live around Frankfurt....you find a copy in your office/shop....reading the front-page only, and you know everything of importance going on (in 3 minutes). I should also note.....no self-respecting intellectual would dare to be seen reading it.
9. Die Welt. Readership in the 180k-to-200k. Definite right-wing slant. Read by a lot of pro-business, capitalist folks. More or less....Bild-like....without the sensationalism or murder-coverage on the front-page.
10. Finally, Junge Freiheit. I should note....it's NOT a daily paper....just a weekly. Has around 30k readers. Of all newspapers....ranking on right-wing things....it is to the far right, and mostly pro-AfD.
Each has a 'class' that they sell news to. From working-class, intellectual, political stance....to culture, sensationalism, and pro-EU or anti-EU slant.
