history
In 1919, Eugen Russ (1877–1962) acquired a book printing company on Römerstrasse in Bregenz , which published the “Vorarlberger Landeszeitung”, and worked there as an editor, publisher and publisher. In 1929 the print shop moved to Kirchstrasse . In 1938 the "Landeszeitung" was banned by the National Socialists .
The first independent edition as “Vorarlberger Nachrichten” appeared on September 1, 1945. From 1946 to 1952 Ernst Bär , who later became the director of the Bregenz Festival , was the editor of the newspaper, who had worked there as a journalist from 1937 to 1939.
In 1984 the publisher bought the weekly newspaper Wann & Wo . Since 1990 the Vorarlberg media house (as of October 2012 as Russmedia ) has also been publishing NEUE , which was founded in 1972 . On June 1, 1995, the electronic service Antenne Vorarlberg was added to the publishing house , the first private radio in the state.
In addition, the VN was the first daily newspaper in the world to be continuously produced in four-color printing . On June 5, 2006, Vorarlberger Nachrichten was named “Newspaper of the Year” at the 59th World Newspaper Congress in Moscow.
Since 1970 the UN has awarded the Toni Russ Prize annually in memory of the former publisher and editor-in-chief Toni Russ (1914–1969) .
