Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
The (; ''FAZ''; "Frankfurt General Newspaper") is a German newspaper founded in 1949. It is published daily in Frankfurt and is considered a newspaper of record for Germany. Its Sunday edition is the ''Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung'' (; ''FAS''). The paper runs its own network of correspondents. Its editorial policy is not determined by a single editor, but cooperatively by four editors.

Traditionally, many of the headlines in the ''FAZ'' were styled in bl ...
