Survey on Austrian Parliament’s Decision to Discontinue Historic Newspaper’s Daily Print 

One of Austria’s oldest historic newspapers, Wiener Zeitung, is being discontinued from its print edition to shift its focus to digital media primarily after a decision from the parliament on Thursday, April 27, 2023.

Wiener Zeitung is one of Austria’s oldest newspapers, founded in 1703. It is the official publication used by the Government of the Republic of Austria for legally-required announcements, such as company registrations, etc. It also serves as the official gazette for all things related to the government, including all government job openings, etc.

Austria’s parliament decided that Wiener Zeitung would cease its print edition and focus on digital media primarily. This decision came after a years-long dispute between the Austrian government and the newspaper about the future of the government-owned daily.

However, the decision was met with much opposition and criticism, given the historical value of the new publication.

The Vice President of the EU Commission, Vera Jourova, expressed her dissatisfaction with current events, citing she was not happy with the situation.

However, the move is not permanent as the paper will still maintain a minimum of ten print publications per year, depending on the available funds.
