One of the world's oldest newspapers still in print, Austria's Wiener Zeitung, will primarily move online, after a decision Thursday by the country's parliament. The Wiener Zeitung was in 2004 ranked as one of the oldest newspapers still in circulation, the World Association of News Publishers told AFP. The newspaper's role as official gazette, it's main source of revenue, will move to a separate state-owned online platform. Meanwhile, the Wiener Zeitung will establish a media hub, a content agency, and a training centre for journalists. The Wiener Zeitung has a circulation of about 20,000 on weekdays and about twice as much on weekends.
