Falter

Falter (English: 'Folder', 'Folded/flying dossier') is a weekly Austrian news magazine published in Vienna.

Established in 1977, Falter is published weekly on Wednesdays.^[1] The magazine was founded by Walter Martin Kienreich. The publisher is Falter Verlagsgesellschaft.^[2] The magazine has no political affiliation.^[3] Its headquarters is in Vienna.^[4]

Falter reports from a broadly left-liberal perspective on politics, media, culture and the life in Vienna.^[1][2] Since Spring 2005 a local edition has also been published in Styria. The weekly has a science supplement, Heureka, which is supported by the Austrian Ministry of Education and Science.^[5] The supplement features critical analyses of scientific activities, science policy, science/society relationships and university-based science and each issue focuses on a scientific topic, including genetics, science and politics among the others.^[4] It is distributed not only to the readers of Falter but also to university departments, the relevant ministries and other related institutions.^[4]

In addition to its original role as a magazine of the arts and social life, Falter has also developed a reputation for investigative journalism.^[1][2]

The 2007 circulation of Falter was 63,000 copies.^[2] In 2010 its circulation was 48,000 copies.^[6] Since then, print journalism has seen radical changes in Austria. The exact circulation of Falter is, for unexplained reasons, no longer reported to the "Auflagenkontrolle"; however, competitors report of "about 40,000 subscribers" in 2023 for Falter.^[7]
