    • Die Presse is a

    German-language daily broadsheet newspaper based in Vienna, Austria.[1] It is considered a newspaper of record for Austria.[2]

    History and profile

    Die Presse was first printed on 3 July 1848

    aryanized by the Nazis in 1938 and effectively closed in 1939. In 1946, after the Second World War, resistance fighter Ernst Molden, who had been vice-editor-in-chief of the Neue Freie Presse[4] from 1921 until 1939, reestablished the newspaper as Die Presse.[5][6]

    The "Presse" had been struggling for financial survival for a long time, until during the 1960s, the Austrian

    conservative-liberal media group founded by the Catholic Church.[dubious – discuss] Its publisher is Die Presse Verlag GmbH.[8]

    The paper covers general news topics. It is frequently quoted in international media concerning news from Austria. Since March 2009 it has also been operating a weekly newspaper under the name "Die Presse am Sonntag".[9][10] The daily covers half-page science news each day.[11]

    The political position of the "Die Presse" can be described as

    conservative Wiener Zeitung and the social-liberal Der Standard. Emphasis is put on the 1848 revolutions as the beginning of its tradition as a liberal newspaper, citing it in its slogan "Free since 1848". Despite its liberal free-market orientation, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels wrote a series of articles on the American Civil War for Die Presse in the early 1860s, which were later collected into the book The Civil War in the United States
    .

    In 2007 the editor-in-chief of Die Presse was Michael Fleischhacker who had been appointed to the post in 2004.[11][12] Next year the paper was named Best Editorial Team in Austria.[10]

    Circulation

    In 2002 Die Presse was one of four quality daily newspapers with nationwide distribution along with Der Standard, Salzburger Nachrichten, and Wiener Zeitung.[13] The same year its circulation was 120,000 copies.[8] In 2004 the paper had a circulation of 115,000 copies.[14]

    The 2007 circulation of Die Presse was 121,000 copies.[15] The circulation of the daily was 120,363 copies in 2008 and 102,598 copies in 2009.[16] It was 97,091 copies in 2010.[16] The paper had a circulation of 74,032 copies in 2011.[17] Its circulation was 80,000 copies in 2013.[18]

    CIA involvement

    In 2009, reports claimed that the long-time editor

    CIA in the 1960s and the 1970s,[19][20] and the CIA already described it internally as “CIA-subsidized” as early as 1951, when the CIA used it to distribute Animal Farm in the Soviet Zone of Vienna.[21]
