Berlin - Germany's irreverent left-wing daily Tageszeitung turned its front page into a low-brow tabloid filled with naked breasts and sensational headlines yesterday after a drive to attract new subscribers fell short of its goal.
Tageszeitung, which depends on subscribers to cover its costs, said it needed to win 300 new subscribers by the weekend or it would briefly turn itself into the sort of paper its readers most fear. It got only 241 new readers by the deadline.
