The Bil (formerly Bild-Zeitung, lit. Picture Newspaper) is a German newspaper published by Axel Springer AG. The paper is published from Monday to Saturday, while on Sundays, Bild am Sonntag (lit. Picture on Sunday) is published instead, which has a different style and its own editors. Bild is tabloid in style, although actually broadsheet in size. It is the best-selling newspaper in Europe and has the seventh-largest circulation worldwide. Its motto, prominently displayed below the logo, is unabhängig, überparteilich (independent, nonpartisan). Bild's nearest English-language stylistic and journalistic equivalent is often considered to be The Sun in the UK - the second highest selling Euopean tabloid newspaper - with which it shares a degree of rivalry
