The two articles seem to be slightly conflicting, and my understanding is that Die Welt has been profitable during the past years (but I may be wrong). I seem to have read or heard that when Axel Springer had bought Die Welt (he wanted a serious paper in his portfolio), another not-so-serious paper from his publishing house, the Bild-Zeitung (profitable indeed) cross-subsidized Die Welt for decades. However, the ideological angles of the two papers have always been similar after 1952 (the Bild-Zeitung, too, has gone with the times in certain ways, taking a more liberal view on many domestic, but not on international issues).

Siegfried Lenz worked at Die Welt during its pre-Springer days, i. e. the early years after the war. Only its beginnings were promising, in my view, but either way, it co-wrote Germany’s post-war history, through the decades.
