Marga Swoboda

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marga Swoboda (born April 15, 1955 in Düns ; † November 20, 2013 in Vienna ) was an Austrian journalist and columnist .

Life

Swoboda, the daughter of a factory worker and a street sweeper and grave digger , left school before graduation and started some voluntary work, e.g. B. in advertising agencies, marriage institutes or the St. Galler Tagblatt . After that, she wrote for nine years, until the early 1980s, in all sections of the Neue Vorarlberger Tageszeitung , before she went to Vienna and worked as a freelancer at WIENER and Basta , and wrote the courier and profile for the whole week .

Before she moved to the Kronen Zeitung and worked there for 21 years, she was the first editor-in-chief of the women's magazine WIENERIN from 1986 to 1988 . In the first issue of May 1986 she wrote a comment with the title “My God, Sister Johanna” , referring to Johanna Dohnal , who was the first women's state secretary at the time , who rejected the establishment of WIENERIN and refused to give an interview.

At the Kronen Zeitung she soon headed the editorial department of Krone Bunt and wrote 8,339 columns under the title Day for Day in over two decades , the last four days before her death. Her decision to go to the Kronen Zeitung, a tabloid newspaper , at the beginning of the 1990s , and no longer to change, was often held up against Swoboda and her texts were therefore often judged in a derogatory manner. However, she herself did not want to write for an elite group, but rather “to practice a certain kind of tolerance on a broad basis”.

Swoboda was in a relationship with the Austrian actor Fritz Hammel and had five children: Fabian, Moritz, Simon, Bernhard and Fanny. Son Bernhard and daughter Fanny (who suffered from sudden infant death syndrome ) have already died. She lived in Liechtenstein and Vienna.
