Submit an article

Submissions for Die Zeitung online are accepted on a rolling basis. Not all submissions will be in the printed version. By submitting a piece, you acknowledge that your article might be posted online, printed, or both.  What to submit: opinion pieces; stories from study abroad; literature, play, or album reviews; drawings or comics; puzzles; interviews; sports journalism; recipes; historic or current event recaps; etc. Articles can be in German or in English. (Example articles: what you did in Potsdam this summer, what makes Döner great, an English translation of your favorite German poem, reviews of films from class, a drawing of your favorite site in Berlin, a recap of a recent soccer game in Germany, etc.)

Articles should pertain to German studies/German-speaking countries. We suggest that all articles should be between 150-400 words in length. 

Please note: All Die Zeitung submissions must be written in your own words. This excludes the use of online translators for German articles. Translations of poetry or other similar material are allowed and encouraged, so long as the translation is your original work.
