It is independent and not associated with any political party or business group. The magazine is published every Friday and distributed in 172 countries. It has a circulation of 1 million copies. Der Spiegel reports on a wide range of topics, including politics, business, science, culture and entertainment, media, society and sports. In Germany, Der Spiegel is regarded as being synonymous with "investigative journalism." It is characterised by thorough research and dependable quality. In many cases four, five or even more journalists and correspondents work together on a single story. The journalists concentrate primarily on events of political and social interest.
