Sonntagszeitung vs Zeitung

newspaper

'Zeitung' and 'Sonntagszeitung' both refer to a publication with news and other texts. 'Zeitung' is the general term and can mean an edition on any day, printed or digital. 'Sonntagszeitung' is more specific: it appears especially on Sunday and is often thicker or contains special sections. The words can be confused because a Sunday newspaper is also a newspaper. If the day of the week does not matter, simply say 'Zeitung'. If you mean the special Sunday edition, 'Sonntagszeitung' fits better.
