Kleine Zeitung (German: [ˈklaɪnə ˈtsaɪtʊŋ]; lit. 'Small Newspaper') is an Austrian newspaper based in Graz and Klagenfurt. As the largest regional newspaper in Austria, covering the federal states Styria and Carinthia with East Tyrol, the paper has around 800,000 readers.
Kleine Zeitung was founded in 1904[1][2] by the Katholischer Preßverein (Catholic Press Association).[3] The first issue was published on Tuesday, 22 November 1904. The paper is based in Graz[1] as well as in Klagenfurt.[4] From its inception, it was designed as a paper to be read by the masses, covering general and regional news topics at a reasonable cost. The paper is owned by the Styria Media Group, which also owns the daily newspaper Die Presse.[5] Kleine Zeitung is published in the half Berlin format.[1]
Kleine Zeitung has a center-right political leaning.[6] Fritz Csoklich served as the editor-in-chief of the paper for thirty years until 1994.[7]
Kleine Zeitung is the recipient of the 2005 European Newspaper Award in the category of regional newspaper.[1]
