Der Tagesspiegel ("The Daily Mirror"; motto: "rerum cognoscere causas", or "to know the causes of things") is a liberalGerman daily newspaper. Founded on 27 September1945, the Tagesspiegel is based in West Berlin, only a short distance from the former location of the Berlin Wall. It is the only major newspaper in the capital to have increased its circulation—now 148,000—since re-unification. Despite this, it is still associated with the western half of the city, due to the 1948 blockade having stopped its circulation in East Berlin and Brandenburg.
