Established in 1977, Falter is published weekly on Wednesdays.[1] The magazine was founded by Walter Martin Kienreich. The publisher is Falter Verlagsgesellschaft.[2] The magazine has no political affiliation.[3] Its headquarters is in Vienna.[4]

Falter reports from a broadly left-liberal perspective on politics, media, culture and the life in Vienna.[1][2] Since Spring 2005 a local edition has also been published in Styria. The weekly has a science supplement, Heureka, which is supported by the Austrian Ministry of Education and Science.[5] The supplement features critical analyses of scientific activities, science policy, science/society relationships and university-based science and each issue focuses on a scientific topic, including genetics, science and politics among the others.[4] It is distributed not only to the readers of Falter but also to university departments, the relevant ministries and other related institutions.[4]

In addition to its original role as a magazine of the arts and social life, Falter has also developed a reputation for investigative journalism.[1][2]

The 2007 circulation of Falter was 63,000 copies.[2] In 2010 its circulation was 48,000 copies.[6] Since then, print journalism has seen readical changes in Austria. The exact circulation of Falter is, for unexplained reasons, no longer reported to the "Auflagenkontrolle"; however, competitors report of "about 40,000 subscribers" in 2023 for Falter.[7]
