End of an Era: Austria's Oldest Newspaper Prints Its Final Edition

Austria's Wiener Zeitung, one of the world's oldest daily newspapers founded in 1703, has printed its final daily edition due to a decrease in revenue caused by a law change. The newspaper, which had been in print for over three centuries, will continue as an online publication and plans to release a monthly print edition. The paper's editorial expressed concern about the state of quality journalism in the digital age and lamented missed opportunities for sustainable financing.

"Oldest Newspaper Goes Digital, Ends Daily Print Run"

Austria's Wiener Zeitung, one of the world's oldest newspapers still in print, will primarily move online from July 1, while maintaining a minimum of ten print publications per year, depending on the funds available. The newspaper's role as official gazette, its main source of revenue, will move to a separate state-owned online platform. The Wiener Zeitung will establish a media hub, a content agency, and a training centre for journalists. Almost half of the newspaper's over 200 employees, including 40 journalists, could be laid off, according to its trade union.
