Germany: Business News 2.0?
German publisher Holtzbrinck will launch the website zoomer.de in 2008. The site is meant to put news items from their paid papers Handelsblatt, der Zeit and the Tagesspiegel on line in a joint portal with interactive elements.
Journalists formerly employed by Holtzbrinck’s closed down free business paper Business News will work for the new ‘quality journalism’ website which is targeted at people under 40. (Horizont.net)
When Business News was closed down in June 2007, Holtzbrinck first carried on the the on line version. But visitors of www.businessnews.com are now forwarded to the Handelsblatt website.
