Wirtschaftswoche is a German weekly business news magazine published in Germany. "Wirtschaft" means economy (including business) and "Woche" is week.
For many years, Wirtschaftswoche was published weekly [1] [2] on Thursdays, but since March 2006, this has been changed to Mondays. The editorial office is in Düsseldorf. The publisher is Verlagsgruppe Handelsblatt [1] which also publishes Handelsblatt. [3]
The magazine provides business- and economy-related news. [2] Its target audience is managers and business people. [2] [4] In November 2014 Miriam Meckel was appointed editor-in-chief of the weekly. [5] Under the leadership of Miriam Meckel, WirtschaftsWoche has gone through a major structural as well as design relaunch with edition 20/2015. The magazine has slightly changed its logo as part of this redesign.
In the period of 2001–2002 Wirtschaftswoche had a circulation of 187,000 copies. [1] For the first quarter of 2005 the circulation of the magazine was 183,156 copies, making it the best-selling weekly business publication in Germany. [6]
