The "junge Welt" ("young world") is a daily newspaper published in Berlin. It could be best described as being "orthodox Communist" i.e. Stalinist, being particuarly close to the "Communist Platform" of the PDS, and the DKP (Communist Party) youth section, the SDAJ. Other revolutionaries and left-wing reformists do get space to air their views and opinions, it is highly critical of the PDS leadership. Formerly the organ of the East German state organisation "Free German Youth", the Junge Welt was the most read, and most trusted (and most critical) newspaper in the Stalinist GDR. Today the junge Welt is the daily paper with the youngest readership, which is strange, as one only ever sees pensioners reading it. Has been criticised as being anti-semitic and its politics can be summed up pretty well in the phrase "my enemies' enemy is my friend". Rumours that the paper was written and printed in Belgrade during the NATO attacks on Serbia and Kosova have not yet been proven.
