Wiener Zeitung

Austria, 1703 (as the Wiennerisches Diarium) Launched on August 8, 1703, under the Habsburgs, the Vienna paper was for generations counted the oldest daily still in print. That run ended on June 30, 2023, after a law change cut the revenue it earned from printing official company notices. The front page of its last daily print edition summed it up as 320 years, 12 presidents, 10 emperors, 2 republics, 1 newspaper. It has not closed. The Wiener Zeitung carries on mainly online, with a much smaller editorial team and occasional print magazines, which makes it a good example of how the oldest papers survive: by changing form rather than disappearing.
