Tageszeitung vs Zeitung

newspaper

'Zeitung' and 'Tageszeitung' both mean a publication with news. 'Zeitung' is the more general term. A newspaper can appear daily, but also weekly or on another schedule. 'Tageszeitung' is more precise: it appears daily or almost daily and reports on current topics. The words can be confused because many typical newspapers are daily newspapers. If the exact publication schedule is not important, 'Zeitung' is enough. If you want to emphasize that it appears every day, 'Tageszeitung' fits better.
