Vorarlberger Nachrichten (Austrian German pronunciation: [foːɐ̯ˈarlbɛrɡɐ ˈnaːxrɪçtn̩]; simply VN) is a German language regional newspaper published in Bregenz, Vorarlberg, Austria. It is one of the leading regional publications in the country[1] and has been in circulation since 1945.
VN was first published on 16 November 1945[2] during the occupation of Austria by the US and French forces following World War II.[3] In time of its formation period it was under the influence of the French.[4] The paper has its headquarters in Bregenz and serves for Vorarlberg.[1] The Vorarlberg Media, which is also the owner of NEUE, owns the paper.[5] It is published by the Russmedia Verlag which also publishes NEUE.[6] Both companies are headed by Eugene A. Russ.[2] Christian Ortner served as the editor-in-chief of VN.[2][7]
In 1994 VN began to print in four colors, being the first traditional Austrian newspaper in this regard.[1] The paper was named as the Newspaper of the Year by the World Newspaper Congress in 2006 for its quality journalism, innovation, the use of multimedia and economic management.[2][7]
