Falter (English: Butterfly) 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]
