Sources of news from/about Germany. One particularly well-done collection of pointers to German news sources is Carl Butler's listing, containing (I bet) all of the pointers mentioned here and more. 1996-04
The alpha complete news index has a very extensive selection of German print and broadcast news media.
All the major German newspapers and magazines and many of the local ones are available on the web. Some put their whole edition online, some only excerpts and the really stingy ones will only give you contact information.
A news site to end all newspaper websites is provided by paperball. The site compiles news from various newspapers and magazines and offers them in one overview. Very slick.
Here are some links to local papers: Berliner Morgenpost | Berliner Zeitung | Durlacher Blatt | Express | Frankenpost | Haidhauser Nachrichten | Hamburger Abendblatt | Hamburger Morgenpost | Hannoversche Allgemeine | Heilbronner Stimme | Hellweger Anzeiger | HollsteinischerCourier | Kevelaerer Blatt | Kieler Nachrichten | Kölner Stadtanzeiger | Kölnische Rundschau | Landeszeitung Lüneburg | Lausitzer Rundschau | Lippische Landes-Zeitung | Main Echo | Mainpost | Mannheimer Morgen | Marktspiegel | Mindener Tageblatt | Mittelbadische Presse | Maerker | Münstersche Zeitung | Neue Presse | Nordbayrischer Kurier | Nordwest Zeitung | Nürnberger Nachrichten | Nürnberger Zeitung | Nürtinger Zeitung | Passauer Neue Presse | Pirmasenser Zeitung | Rems Zeitung | Remscheider General-Anzeiger | Rhein-Zeitung | Rheingau Echo | Rheinische Post | Rheinischer Merkur | Rostocker Nachrichten | Ruhr Nachrichten | Das Zeitfenster | Der Tagesspiegel | Neue Westfaelische Zeitung | Saarbrücker Zeitung | Schaumburger Nachrichten | Schwarzwaelder Bote | Schweriner Volkszeitung | Schwaebische Zeitung | Siegener Zeitung | Singener Wochenblatt | Stuttgarter Zeitung | Saechsische Zeitung | Südkurier | Trierischer Volksfreund | Weser Kurier | Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung | Westfaelische Nachrichten | Wochenspiegel
