history

The beginnings

The "Salzburger Nachrichten" appeared for the first time on June 7, 1945 as one of the first daily newspapers in Austria after the Second World War . The SN were published by the Information Service Branch (ISB) of General Eisenhower's 12th Army Corps. At this point in time they had the subtitle "Published by the 12th Army Group for the Austrian population". The first issues only consisted of two pages because of the paper allocation and the price at that time was 15  pfennigs .

On October 20, Max Dasch , at that time director of the Salzburger Druckerei (since 1937), and Gustav Canaval received Permit S1, the license to publish the newspaper, and on Tuesday, October 23, 1945, the “Salzburger Nachrichten” appeared for the first time as an independent Austrian daily newspaper with an average length of four pages.

The American press officers had stipulated that 50% of the newspaper's net income would be used for reconstruction and cultural purposes, 25% for company staff, and another 25% for building financial reserves. To control independent, democratically oriented reporting and to determine the recipients of the funding, the association “Kuratorium Salzburger Nachrichten” was created in 1946, a committee of twelve people chaired by Governor Albert Hochleitner . The board of trustees was only active until about 1948 and was dissolved in 1954. After the end of the occupation in 1956, the regulation was canceled, according to which 50% of the profit should be used for charitable purposes; this money was only distributed until 1948. Profit sharing for employees ended in 1956.

Construction and technological developments

In 1983 the changeover from lead to light typesetting takes place. The title of “Salzburger Nachrichten” has been published in blue since February 1983. In 1987 the conversion to the in-house typesetting system followed. The print preparation or printing remains with the Salzburg printing company.

On March 1, 1989, the SN appeared with its own Austria edition and local reporting for Salzburg was expanded. From this point on, the SN (as well as the “ Kleine Zeitung ”, the “ Oberösterreichische Nachrichten ”, the “ Neue Vorarlberger Tageszeitung ”, the “ Tiroler Tageszeitung ”, the “ Vorarlberger Nachrichten ” and the weekly newspaper “ Niederösterreichische Nachrichten ”) had the television and radio magazine “tele”, which was also published by the carrier media.

In October 1991 the printing center on Karolingerstrasse was completed. The printing center is run by an operating company, 50% of which are owned by the publishing companies of SN and Mediaprint. The new publishing house was completed on August 12, 1994 and the SN moved from Bergstrasse in Salzburg's old town to Karolingerstrasse.

From 1995 the “Salzburger Nachrichten” appeared in two formats: The Austria edition (again with the subtitle “Independent Newspaper for Austria”) remains in the familiar Berlin format. The newly designed local section for Salzburg appears in half-Berlin format. This is included in the main edition in the state of Salzburg and in the neighboring districts in Upper Austria and has been expanded to include the areas of culture, business and sport from the city and the country.

On March 5, 1997, the Internet offer at www.salzburg.com went live. In 1999 the SN introduced the " Computer to Plate " technology. With this, finished newspaper pages are played directly on the printing plate , the time-consuming preparation and exposure of the printing plates is no longer an intermediate step. This enabled even more up-to-date information due to a later editorial deadline.

Together with the Cuban Mario Garcia , who by that time had already advised 410 newspapers around the world, the SN underwent a major relaunch in 2008. The sequence of pages with more space for reporting on Austria has been restructured and the appearance, legibility and clarity have been improved and modernized.

In 2012, a new printing press was installed, the KBA Commander from König & Bauer . The new dimension in web offset technology opened up space for new products, for the local section to be printed in half-Berlin format and thus for deliveries to all of Austria in the same topicality as the main edition in Berlin format. With a height of 12 m, a length of 16 m and a width of 8 m, it was more economical in terms of space and could manage up to 45,000 copies per hour.

Maximilian Dasch , the publisher's son of the same name, joined the management team on September 2, 2013, where he had been an assistant for four years.

In 2017 www.salzburg.com became the new web portal www.sn.at. All offers are thus united under the umbrella brand “Salzburger Nachrichten”. The change of address is also used to revise the content, technology and appearance. The page should reflect the SN's catalog of values: clear, relevant, profound, analytical, serious, valuable in terms of content. The website uses a self-learning system from strg.at, which works with neural networks and artificial intelligence . With "SN Plus" the paid offer was further developed.

Details of the newspaper

The Salzburger Nachrichten is a national Austrian daily newspaper with a distribution focus in the state of Salzburg . According to an Austrian media analysis , two thirds of SN readers are in the state of Salzburg. For this readership, the SN are the primary providers of information, analysis and commentary. For the readership outside Salzburg, that is around 100,000 people, the Salzburger Nachrichten has an important function as a medium that presents alternative and complementary points of view, especially in the areas of politics, business, science and culture. Above all, the undisputed regional information competence is also increasingly being used in the sn.at internet portal .

During the week, the daily newspaper consists of four national books and a small-format local section for Salzburg. The first book is the politics part. The following large-format sections of the newspaper open with the topics of culture, business and sport. Further sections are Austria Chronicle, Media, World Chronicle and Knowledge / Health. In the Saturday edition there is the supplement “Weekend” with background reports (“Cause & Effect”) as well as key topics such as tourism , “ Climate Change ”, “Spirit & World” as well as culinary art and the “Citizens” page. The weekend also features career, real estate and mobility reports and ads. Reports under the title SNuppi are aimed specifically at children and are printed in larger font for better readability.

The newspaper maintains its own Vienna editorial team under the direction of Andreas Koller , who is also the deputy editor-in-chief . Thomas Wizany acts as the newspaper's cartoonist .
