Overview
- Heise online marks its 30th year and reports more than 44 million visits per month after publishing roughly half a million stories.
- The platform now brings together titles such as c't, iX and Mac & i under one roof, with paid heise+ and the heise security PRO community adding subscriber-backed depth.
- Reader forums launched in 1999 have surpassed 46 million posts and often alert editors to software flaws and other issues before they spread elsewhere.
- German court cases involving heise set lasting rules by curbing blanket forum liability in 2006 and confirming in 2010 that news links are protected by press freedom.
- The newsroom uses targeted AI for routine tasks and a synthetic voice to deliver a twice-daily news cast, and it is celebrating with interactive games and a discounted lifetime heise+ offer.
