Sharing, re-posting and adapting DW content

May I share Deutsche Welle content on the Internet?

DW allows and even encourages the sharing of content via the social media share button!

If you cannot find a share button, please submit your inquiry via this form. Each request is handled individually on a case-by-case basis.

Is the re-posting of articles from dw.com permitted?

You are welcome to post article headlines and teasers on your website. Deutsche Welle allows and even encourages the sharing of content via the social media share button!

If you use Deutsche Welle article headlines and teasers on your website, please supply the link to the complete article at dw.com and name the source as dw.com or DW.
Unfortunately, DW cannot permit the publication of entire articles, videos or other content from our website on other websites — not even if DW is named as the source. (DW uses fixed URLs that are not changed so that users always have full access to the content they are interested in.)
Please inform DW if you want to publish one of a DW teaser on your website.
