News from Berlin: Suite101.de Editor-in-Chief says "It's really due to our writers"

Posted by Dirk Westphal Jan 8, 2009

Thank you, Marci, for the opportunity to be a guest in the Limelight Blog all the way from Berlin. And we truly have some exciting developments here:

Our success is really only due to our great writers – we currently have about 350 on Suite101.de. It's wonderful to see how they just keep getting better and better attracting more and more readers. Suite101.de is fast becoming the largest independent, German general interest online magazine. With new features and several editorial specials planned, 2009 will be an exciting year.

So we really have some good news in times of the global media crisis. Suite101.de attracted 1.04 million unique visitors in December 2008! With that Suite101's German site now has almost five times as many readers as we did six months ago. That's much earlier than we had ever expected. And January is starting 2009 off with a good start too.

Also in terms of articles we have something to celebrate: a few days before Christmas, Judith Weibrecht, travel journalist from Fürth (a lovely city in the heart of Bavaria), published Suite101.de's 10,000th article. The title being: Tschechien: Per Rad von Bad zu Bad (Czech Republic: By Bike from Spa to Spa).

We're not quite yet as big as Suite101.com, but we still plan to take you over in March 2027 ;-)
