FOCUS Magazine - Here are the facts

FOCUS is a modern weekly magazine that tells the stories of our world at the highest journalistic level, classifies the challenges of the time and thus provides orientation. It is about tomorrow's topics and the heroes and heroines who are changing our world - in politics, business, science, society and culture. Because people make news and people are news. FOCUS believes in the power of facts, the power of clear thought and the importance of debate for our democracy. It may be harder today, but it is also more important than ever to separate fake from fact. We do it. Every week!

"Focus is the modern weekly magazine that tells the stories of our world and classifies the challenges of the time. People make news and people are news. Where is the future being thought and made? Who are the heroes and heroines? Who provides orientation? Focus takes a close look and tells journalistically at the highest level what will be of importance tomorrow." FRANZISKA REICH

"Focus is the strong, self -confident middle -class voice in Germany. A voice for common sense and economic rationality." GEORG MECK
