New Vienna Journal

Head of the New Vienna Journal .

The Neue Wiener Journal was an Austrian daily newspaper that appeared from 1893 to 1939 . It appeared with the subtitle "impartial daily newspaper" and did not pursue a clear political line. In the First Republic , however, political reporting found greater importance than in previous years. The basic tendency here was anti-Marxist and sometimes also monarchy- sympathetic.

In a time marked by anti-Semitism, the newspaper founded by the Jewish Jakob Lippowitz was always open to Zionist issues. After the Anschluss in 1938, the newspaper lost its Jewish staff and international correspondents. The newspaper continued to appear under National Socialist control until the end of January 1939, when it was merged with the Neue Freie Presse and the Neuen Wiener Tagblatt .
