How is "Die Zeit" protestant? As a regular reader I can't see any preference for some religious denomination. fpesth 11:23, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] ================================

The name of the publication is probably better translated as simply "Time" rather than "The Time." That's just how abstract nouns work in German: you have to use a definite article to refer to them, whereas we don't do that in English.

[edit] =================================

The paper is considered to be high brow. While I don't necessarily disagree, "high brow" has negative connotations that seem inappropriate here and "is considered to be" is simply glossing over the fact that this is a personal opinion. (This stylistic tool has a name - which I forget - and is discusses as one of the things to avoid in writing Wikipedia articles) 172.179.101.199 12:15, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
