Title page of the Neue Zeitung of November 2, 1907

The Neue Zeitung was an Austrian daily newspaper that appeared in Vienna between 1907 and 1934. The newspaper appeared seven times a week, at six o'clock in the morning and Monday at noon.

The Neue Zeitung was founded in 1907 by the Sankt Josefsverein from Carinthia and was a relatively faithful copy of the Illustrierte Kronen-Zeitung . Hans Bösbauer acted as editor-in-chief and publisher. The newspaper's subtitle was Illustrated Independent Tagblatt , so there were numerous illustrations on the inside in addition to the obligatory title page. The focus of the Neue Zeitung was in the local area and in categories such as “Viennese news”, “assemblies”, “courtroom”, “church matters”, “community affairs”, “club news” and “daily news”. In addition to the political part with reports from the Reichsrat , there was an editorial, a popular and a detective novel and a short section “Theater and Art”. The reporting was supplemented by sports news and a brief economic and stock market section.

After the First World War, the Neue Zeitung began to gradually decline, despite the unchanged newspaper concept. The editorial policy initially remained politically neutral, although the Catholic orientation was emphasized. From 1932 the newspaper became the organ of the Christian social politician Leopold Kunschak . For this reason, political reporting has been expanded and the current news has a higher priority. In contrast, the share of business and sports news and advertisements has been reduced more and more. The images were increasingly being replaced by political caricatures, and the presentation was more oriented towards the tabloids. After the newspaper pursued National Socialist tendencies more strongly and strongly attacked the liberal and Marxist newspapers, the Waldheim-Eberle printing company discontinued the newspaper because it feared that the license would be withdrawn.
