Online Journalism Pioneer
Spiegel Online first went up on 25 October 1994, making it the first online presence of an established news magazine, one day before the Time site. SPON started as a service on Compuserve. The web domain www.spiegel.de was established one year later. SPON's content initially consisted of hand-picked articles from the print magazine. As early as 1995, however, original content first appeared in a section called "Scanner," which was only available online. In the following year, Spiegel Online was relaunched and commenced featuring breaking news as well.
