At personenkomitee-wirtschaftsblatt.at, supporters are being sought who will stand behind the preservation of the medium, the safeguarding of freedom of expression as well as objectivity and jobs. Goals are:

  1. Continuation of the Wirtschaftsblatt in new hands.
  2. Job security: 20% reach among top managers and 66 employees are worth finding a joint solution for the continuation of the Wirtschaftsblatt.
  3. Strengthening Austria as a business location. Austria's only business daily strengthens Austria as a business location.

Readers and coworkers of the restaurant paper do not want to accept the loss of the only restaurant daily paper of Austria without further  and  unite therefore , in order to find a solution for the continuance of the newspaper! Discussions are taking place in the Facebook group "Save the Wirtschaftsblatt," which now has more than 2,000 members.
