Süddeutsche Zeitung plans Sunday edition
Following in the footsteps of *Die Welt* and the *Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung*, the *Süddeutsche Zeitung*—Germany's largest national subscription-based daily newspaper—now plans to launch its own Sunday edition.
After Die Welt and the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, the Süddeutsche Zeitung, Germany's largest national subscription daily newspaper, now also wants to launch its own Sunday edition. According to the news magazine Focus, the launch date is planned for spring 2007. The circulation is to be 150,000 copies and sales are initially to start in Bavaria. Süddeutscher Verlag considers it attractive to enter the Sunday newspaper market because the advertising business of the existing titles has picked up again. The editor-in-chief of SZ-Magazin, Dominik Wichmann, has been commissioned with the concept, as Focus further reported. However, the decision on the concept will not be made until the end of this year at the earliest.
