New plan
- Austrian satire portal Die Tagespresse will begin publishing a monthly print newspaper on October 1.
- The announcement uses the outlet’s trademark humor, describing print as a wireless medium that works without electricity, including on a train between St. Pölten and Linz.
Die Tagespresse is taking what it calls a bold step into the 19th century: beginning October 1, the Austrian satire portal will also appear as a monthly printed newspaper.
The announcement adopts the outlet’s characteristically playful tone. It describes a print newspaper as “a groundbreaking wireless medium that works completely without electricity and still functions when you are travelling on the Railjet between St. Pölten and Linz.”
We look forward to you accompanying us on this bold step into the 19th century.
