About Die Presse
Die Presse is owned and published by Styria Media Group AG. Styria Media Group AG is primarily owned by the private foundation Katholischer Medien Verein Privatstiftung (98.33%) and the Katholischer Medien Verein association (1.67%), which promotes Christian media work.
Media Bias/Fact Check rates Die Presse as 'Right-Center biased' and 'High' for factual reporting, noting its editorial positions slightly favor the right and it may use loaded words to support conservative causes. The paper is described as classical liberal with a strong emphasis on free-market economy and small government. While generally considered a quality newspaper, a past controversy involved claims of a former editor working for the CIA. Press freedom in Austria is rated as 'satisfactory' by Reporters Without Borders, though concerns exist regarding political influence and economic pressures on media.
