After 320 years of history, the oldest newspaper in the world closes
The oldest newspaper in the world, with a publication history of 3 centuries, will no longer be published.
The newspaper that reported on Moxart 320 years ago has closed. 'Wiener Zeitung', one of the media with the oldest history of the written press in the world will stop printing by decision of the parliament of Austria.
The newspaper started as a state organ and has reported for more than 3 centuries on all developments in Austria and Europe. Its archive contains the most important events for Austria, including the history of the Habsburgs.
The project for its closure has been discussed in the Austrian parliament for years. Arguments for closure range from declining sales to concerns about protecting the environment from the use of paper.
In its best days, the newspaper had about 50,000 copies. While last year the number of sales fell to 20 thousand.
Now the newspaper that is part of Austria's history will be online only. About 200 journalists of the newspaper have protested against this decision, but the Austrian chancellor, who according to the law is its de jure publisher, has supported the decision to close circulation.
In 2021, Chancellor Sebastian Cruz declared that it is not the government's duty to finance a daily newspaper.
There was also reaction from journalists' associations against its closure. The decision of the Austrian Parliament states that the newspaper can be published in print at least 10 times a year, but this will depend on the government's funding opportunities.
