Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) (sh)




(German; "Frankfurt General Newspaper")

Daily newspaper published in Frankfurt am Main, one of the most prestigious and influential in Germany.

It was created after World War II by journalists who had worked on the highly respected Frankfurter Zeitung before the war. When control of the press was turned over to the new West German government in 1949, FAZ began publication. It was the first daily of truly national scope and quickly won a high reputation. Its editorial policy is regarded as conservative because it champions private enterprise.
