Focus

Focus is a German-language news magazine published by Hubert Burda Media. Established in 1993 as an alternative to the Der Spiegel weekly news magazine, its editorial staff has been headquartered in Germany's capital of Berlin since 2015. Alongside Spiegel and Stern, Focus is one of the three most widely circulated German weeklies. The concept originated from Hubert Burda and Helmut Markwort, who went from being editor-in-chief to publisher in 2009 and has been listed in the publication's masthead as founding editor-in-chief since 2017. As of March 2016, the editor-in-chief of Focus was Robert Schneider.
