Challenge
Do we still need daily newspapers, and if so, which ones? We put this question to Spiegel Online readers, journalists, photographers and graphic designers. Several hundred contributions were posted in the course of the debate, which went on for many weeks. Together with Spiegel we have filtered and sorted all the feedback, and compiled a report on the daily newspaper of the future.

Result
‘Der Abend’ is a smartphone app that will give you a digital evening newspaper for the town you live in – an app that will give you a summary of the day’s news as you are travelling home from work. It is a way of keeping up to date every evening and getting an overview of what is coming up the next day. It is a ‘daily newspaper’ that fulfils the role previously played by the local newspaper – the town marketplace.
