Germany is one of the largest magazine markets in Europe: Nearly 6000 journal and magazine titles are published there! Needless to say, the print media play an important role in German culture. Why German magazines? A German magazine subscription is a great way to get a "hands-on" cultural and linguistic experience. Magazines provide theme-oriented usage of authentic language, offer ample culturally and thematically relevant images to support understanding, and provide cultural education in both obvious and subtle ways. These include, for example, cultural perspectives evident in articles, photographs, structural and organizational differences in layout, and advertising trends. Perhaps best of all, magazines exist that speak to nearly every interest group. And they offer current information and perspectives on an ongoing basis. Where to find German language magazines Many German magazines have free online editions, so you can view digital issues regularly, though these often don't include all the same features contained in the full print editions. If you like reading magazines in general, selectively subscribing to just one or two that fit your interests could be well worth the cost. You can examine and use print issues in ways you cannot an online edition. And there is just something satisfying about being able to hold the real thing in your hands. Browsing the online editions before subscribing is a good way to see if the magazine appeals to your interests. Sources of German-language magazines used to be few and far between, but now there are a handful of companies that cater to consumers seeking foreign media. Because the majority of German-language magazines must be shipped to North America from overseas and in a timely manner, subscriptions to the United States and Canada typically cost more than subscriptions within Europe. As with other German media, Amazon.com seems to beat the competition in both range of magazines and in price. Though descriptions of the German language magazines they offer are sparse, Amazon provides access to 100s of German magazines, trade journals, and newpapers. If you're looking for a specific magazine subscription, you can search here, or if you can browse the selection of German magazine subscriptions they offer. Alternatively, you can take advantage of the pre-screening work we've already done for you. You can browse some of the more popular and interesting German magazines below.

A few German newspapers published in Europe are obtainable in North America, though they tend to be quite costly. Fortunately, however, a vast array of German newspapers have online editions. There are also a handful of German-language newspapers published in North America by various cultural and heritage groups. While these tend not to have online editions, subscriptions are easier to come by and are cheaper. German Newspapers from Europe
