The New Yorker Staats-Zeitung, nicknamed "The Staats", is a German-language newspaper in the United States. It is one of the oldest newspapers in the country, having been published since the mid-1830s.
Its publisher claims it to be the leading German-language weekly newspaper in the country.[1] In the late 19th century, it was one of New York City's major daily newspapers, exceeded in circulation only by the New York World and the New-York Tribune.[2] Among other achievements, as of its sesquicentennial anniversary in 1984 it had never missed a publication date, thereby laying claim to the title of being continuously published longer than any other newspaper of any language in America.[3]
