Die Ganze Woche (German: The Whole Week) is an Austrian weekly boulevard magazine that is published in German.[1][2]

History and profile

Die Ganze Woche was launched by Kurt Falk in Vienna in 1985.[3][4] He also founded the daily Täglich Alles.[5] The magazine is published on a weekly basis.[6] The publisher and owner of the magazine is Die Ganze Woche GmbH.[4] Senta Ziegler was the editor-in-chief of the weekly until 1993.[7]

Die Ganze Woche concentrates on entertainment news.[8] On the other hand, the magazine also deals with significant political events. For instance, it opposed to the EU membership of Austria.[9] Although it does not support the right-wing populist Freedom Party, the articles published in the magazine express similar views with the party in regard to corruption, immigration, crime rates, and cultural patriotism.[10]

Nine months after its establishment Die Ganze Woche reached 40% of the readers in the country.[1] The magazine sold 342,000 copies in 2003 and 349,000 copies in the first quarter of 2004.[11] In both periods it was the best-selling magazine in the country.[11] The weekly's circulation for the first half of 2007 was 325,794 copies.[12] The magazine sold 396,000 copies in 2007.[6] Its circulation was 318,987 copies for the first half of 2008.[12] In 2008 Die Ganze Woche was again the best-selling magazine in the country.[13] It was the third best-selling general interest magazine with a circulation of 402,000 copies in 2010.[14]

In 2016 the readership of Die Ganze Woche was reported as ranging between 1 and 1.3 million.[10]
