The group's largest paper is

North Macedonia.[4] It also partially owns the Austrian Kronen Zeitung and Kurier.[5]

In December 2010 WAZ Mediagroup sold all its assets in Bulgaria to a joint venture between Austrian investors and local tycoons. Until then the company had owned the two largest daily newspapers Trud and 24 hours, the weekly newspaper 168 hours, and a large portfolio of magazines.

In 2012, the Funke family bought out the shares of the

Axel Springer AG.[6][7]
