There were at least 19 Jewish magazines in Austria which were all banned after 1938. [1] As of 2012 the magazine sector in Austria was under the dominance of Germany. [2] This influence decreased at the end of the 1990s, but it continued on the women's magazines and fashion magazines. [3] However, business magazines have not been subject to the dominance of Germany. [4] The major fields of Austrian magazines are news, popular science and special interest topics. [2] On the other hand, since the Austrian press market is divided between magazines and newspapers, magazines have a significant function in the press market. [3]
As of 2005 Austrian media company NEWS was dominating the magazine sector in the country. [5]
