Die Ganze Woche (German: The Whole Week) is an Austrian weekly boulevard magazine that is published in German.[1][2]
History and profile
[edit]Die Ganze Woche was launched by Kurt Falk in Vienna in 1985.[3][4] He also founded the daily Täglich Alles.[5] The magazine is published on a weekly basis.[6] The publisher and owner of the magazine is Die Ganze Woche GmbH.[4] Senta Ziegler was the editor-in-chief of the weekly until 1993.[7]
Die Ganze Woche concentrates on entertainment news.[8] On the other hand, the magazine also deals with significant political events. For instance, it opposed to the EU membership of Austria.[9] Although it does not support the right-wing populist Freedom Party, the articles published in the magazine express similar views with the party in regard to corruption, immigration, crime rates, and cultural patriotism.[10]
