Heute

Heute is a free and wide-reaching tabloid that has been published in Vienna since 2004. Its distribution has expanded to Lower Austria, Upper Austria and Burgenland, bringing its circulation up to around a million readers daily. Its ownership structure was unclear for a long time. Presently it is owned by Eva Dichand, editor and wife of the Krone publisher, Wolfgang Jansky, managing director and former press spokesman for a SPÖ Federal Chancellor, and the Swiss company Tamedia AG. Its political position fluctuates between social democratic, conservative and right-wing populist.
