[7] Since September 2005 Handelsblatt has been offering an online lexicon called WirtschaftsWiki[8] which features definitions of terms used in economics and politics.

[12] In 2017, under a new editor-in-chief, Andreas Kluth, the publication avoided the direct translation of German-language articles and instead worked through differences between German and Anglophone journalistic traditions to add details that English readers were accustomed to.

[13] The site was renamed Handelsblatt Today in 2018, but, unable to create a business model and reach a substantial audience to generate revenue, Kluth announced that publication would cease on 27 February 2019.
