History and profile

Salzburger Nachrichten was established in 1945 by the American forces occupying Austria following World War II.[1][2][3] The first issue appeared on 25 October that year.[4] It remained under the control of the US Information Services Branch for a long time.[5] When the paper became under the Austrian supervision, its early contributors were Viktor Reimann, Ilse Leitenberger and Alfons Dalma who were affiliated with the anti-Fascist groups during World War II.[4] In the post-war period Salzburger Nachrichten focused on provincial events and news and did not exclusively cover significant events of the period such as the trials of the Nazi figures in Nuremberg.[4]

Salzburger Nachrichten is published from Monday to Saturday[3] in broadsheet format.[1] The paper features daily science and technology news.[8] It has a Christian-liberal and conservative stance.[3]
