Thurnher is a critic of the Austrian print media landscape, which is dominated by the Kronen Zeitung and the glossy magazines of the NEWS group. He concluded his editorials in the Falter, every week for twenty years, in the style of Cato's Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam with the sentence: For the rest, I am of the opinion that the Mediamil complex must be smashed. Mediamil is a word combination created by Thurnher from Mediaprint and the magazines Format and Profil from the NEWS group.
In August 2014, Thurnher discontinued the habit of the last sentence, which had been cultivated over decades and had become dear to his readers. The word formation Feschismus, a portmanteau from Fascism and fesch, also goes back to Thurnher. [3] [4]
Armin Thurnher is not related to the Falter journalist Christa Thurnher. [5]
