Bild Zeitung Is Germany's Most Influential Tabloid

BERLIN, GERMANY - JANUARY 10: (EDITORS NOTE: Image contains nudity.) A worker, at the request of the photographer, checks an issue of the Berlin-Brandenburg edition of Bild Zeitung tabloid as more issues of the same paper pass through the presses at the Axel Springer printing press on January 10, 2012 in Berlin, Germany. Bild Zeitung, which is Germany's most influential and biggest-circulation tabloid, has pitted itself against German President Christian Wulff after the paper published a story about his personal finance conduct while Wulff was governor of Lower Saxony. Wulff has admitted telephoning Bild Editor-in-Chief Kai Diekmann before the story broke, though Wulff claims he only sought to postpone publication of the story by one day, and not prevent publication, as Bild alledges. The affair has since taken on further dimensions and many critics are calling for Wulff's resignation. (Photo by Sean Gallup/Getty Images)
