Tagesspiegel Weekend gives the gift of time. It is an invitation to slow down, to open the newspaper, and immerse oneself in long, carefully crafted stories.

Conceived as a weekend supplement for Saturdays and Sundays, this new format is a deliberate counterpoint to the digital rush of everyday life — an analogue moment of calm that rewards attention.

The texts featured in Tagesspiegel Weekend are long-form, thoughtful, and thoroughly researched. They aim to be more than just information: they tell stories, offer analysis, interpret, and invite readers to engage. They focus on topics that resonate, on questions that resist simple answers, and on people whose experiences deserve space.

This space is reflected in the design. Every visual implementation begins with an in-depth engagement with the subject and the text. Art direction, photo editing, and layout all get involved early in the process.

Together with the editorial team, they develop individual concepts for the visual realisation of each story. Because these stories — so rich and multilayered — require a visual language that holds up and, at times, helps tell the story itself.

Not your daily newspaper

The highest standards apply. Photography is not merely an illustrative medium, but a narrative medium in its own right. Illustrations are not decorative, but interpretive. And the layout gives each piece the space it needs to unfold. Modern, clear, and reader-friendly — with generous white space, openness, and intention.

The result is a supplement that could almost be described as a magazine within the newspaper. Its look is magazine-like but never arbitrary. Its visual language is high-quality but never overdone. And the dramaturgy of its pages follows not the rhythm of the news cycle, but that of the readers – who, on weekends, are ready to engage with nuance, depth, and the unexpected.

Structurally, Tagesspiegel Weekend is clearly organised into sections: Society, Debate, Travel, Pleasure, and Love. Each with its own tone, visual character, and stylistic approach. Yet they all share the same goal: to create a weekend product that sparks curiosity, invites reflection, and leaves readers with the feeling of having read something that lingers.

These stories aren’t just confined to print; they also have a dedicated space in the digital edition. On the Tagesspiegel homepage, they are curated and prominently featured in a special teaser area. There, too, they can be discovered and read with the same care, depth, and visual quality.

A league of its own

Tagesspiegel Weekend is not just another supplement. It is a journalistic and design-driven statement. A format that declares: Quality journalism takes time — to write, to read, and to design. And that is exactly the time we take. Week after week. For our readers. For the stories.

And for what truly matters on a weekend.
