AustriaThe Austrian online satire portal Tagespresse has announced plans to launch a monthly print edition starting in October. The publication describes the new product as a 'classical quality newspaper' for a country where traditional quality newspapers have largely ceased operations. The editor-in-chief, Fritz Jergitsch, promotes the print edition as a five-euro-per-month offering with 20 pages. As a preview, Tagespresse released a non-saleable 'Zero Number' featuring a quote from Andreas Babler, claiming he denies comeback plans for the SPÖ. The print sample includes fabricated interviews, fake contributions from the federal chancellor, and invented advertisements from the post office and the WWF.
