Overview
- Starting Monday, the paper will appear on weekdays exclusively as an e‑paper, while the printed wochentaz continues on Saturdays.
- Publisher figures show roughly 60% of daily subscribers already read digitally and about 14,000 were pure print subscribers before the switch.
- Management reports current cancellations at about 12% from print‑to‑digital changes and expects the transition to be financially manageable.
- The taz will keep access free of a paywall and relies on subscriptions and its voluntary payment program, with about 45,000 participants.
- The farewell weekday print includes exclusive pieces by writers such as T. C. Boyle, Sibylle Berg and Feridun Zaimoglu, marking the first overregional German daily to take this step.
