Kleine Zeitung was founded in 1904 by the Katholischer Preßverein (Catholic Press Association). The first issue was published on Tuesday, 22 November 1904. The paper is based in Graz[1] as well as in Klagenfurt. From its inception, it was designed as a paper to be read by the masses, covering general and regional news topics at a reasonable cost. The paper is owned by the Styria Media Group, which also owns the daily newspaper Die Presse.[5] Kleine Zeitung is published in the half Berlin format.
