History and profile

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, and later the ownership of TT was transferred to Austrians.[3]

The German company Axel Springer Verlag acquired stake in the paper in 1989[4] and had the majority stake of the paper in the 1990s.[5][6] The paper is wholly owned by the Moser Holding.[7][8][9] In 2008 the holding launched a free daily newspaper, namely TT Compact.[7][10] The publisher of TT is the Schlüssel Verlag/Moser company.[11][12]

TT is based in Innsbruck[13][14] and is the leading publication in Tyrol region.[15] The paper is described as a conservative publication.[16] However, the paper has no political affiliation and has an independent stance.[17]

TT is published in five regional editions.[6] The paper has four main sections: international news, national news, regional news and sports.[15] It is not an advertisement-oriented publication.[15] The paper was the only official sponsor of the Innsbruck 2012 Youth Olympics.[18]
