Spiegel Online

Spiegel Online http://www.spiegel.de (abbreviated SPON) was introduced in 1994. Initially, it was only available to Compuserve users, the first web issue followed about half a year later. Original content produced by its own editorial team is complemented by content purchased from news agencies. In addition to that, selected articles from the print edition are available online at no cost (this selection used to be quite comprehensive). The rest of the print publication is available in PDF format for a fee. Spiegel Online has been on a tight budget since 2000. Its editors are not compensated as well as their print counterparts, they receive special Spiegel Online rates. In 2002 archived articles were declared premium content; they are no longer freely available and have to be purchased. On 21 October 2004, an official English version called "Spiegel International" was introduced.
