The Lëtzebuerger Journal (Luxembourgish pronunciation: [ˈlətsəbuəjɐ ˈʒuʁnɑl], lit. 'Luxembourgish Newspaper') is an online magazine in Luxembourg. It was formerly a daily newspaper published six times a week until 1 January 2021. The online magazine is currently managed by Daniel Nepgen (managing director), Lynn Warken (content director) and Melody Hansen (editor-in-chief). [1]
Lëtzebuerger Journal was first published on 5 April 1948, [2] replacing the Obermosel-Zeitung and l'Unio'n, which ceased publication the same year. [3] Both of those newspapers were attempts to create a mass-circulation liberal newspaper, like the Luxemburger Zeitung of the pre-war era, which had a long tradition, but had been discredited politically. [3] Although the paper was published in German it also had sections published in French. [2]
Henri Koch-Kent was editor 1959–1963. [4] Since around 1980, Rob Roemen edited for some 30 years, including 25 years as editor-in-chief [5] till July 2005. [6]
In 2004 the newspaper had a circulation of 5,150 copies, making it the fifth most widely circulated of the country's (then) six daily newspapers. [7] However, due to its close ties to the Democratic Party, Luxembourg's third largest party and a regular coalition partner in government, the Journal's significance was much greater than this circulation would suggest. [3]
The newspaper received €540,421 in annual state press subsidy in 2009. [8]
The newspaper became independent from the Democratic Party (DP) in 2012 through a cooperation with Éditpress and was no longer a party newspaper, but had an independent editorial board. [9] It ceased its print publication on 31 December 2020 and became an Online magazine on 1 January 2021 with a focus on Slow journalism and all of its written articles published in German, French and English.
