History and profile

edit
 
TT's sponsorship for Innsbruck 2012 Youth Olympics

TT was first published on 11 June 1945.[2] During this period Austria was ruled by the Allies following World War II.[1][3] Its foundation was supported by the French and Americans,[3] but it was under the influence of the former.[4] Later the ownership of TT was transferred to Austrians.[3]

The German company Axel Springer Verlag acquired a stake of the paper in 1989[5] and had the majority stake of the paper in the 1990s.[6][7] The paper is wholly owned by the Moser Holding.[8][9][10] In 2008 the holding launched a free daily newspaper, namely TT Compact.[8][11] The publisher of TT is the Schlüssel Verlag/Moser company.[12][13]

TT is based in Innsbruck[14][15] and is a leading publication in Tyrol region.[16] The paper is described as a conservative publication.[17] However, the paper has no political affiliation and has an independent stance.[18]

TT is published in five regional editions.[7] The paper has four main sections: international news, national news, regional news and sports.[16] It is not an advertisement-oriented publication.[16] The paper was the only official sponsor of the Innsbruck 2012 Youth Olympics.[19]

In 2008 TT published a letter of German immunologist Clemens Sorg following his dismissal from the post as the rector of the Medical University of Innsbruck due to his involvement in a stem cell scandal.[20]
