The Local Austria

The Local is the largest English-language news network in Europe, with six million readers every mont But what is your community? We love that complexity.

The Local is the largest English-language news network in Europe, with four million readers every month. Mission
Daily news is the glue of our society, defining the issues we care about and how we respond to them as a community. If you are like us, then it goes beyond your local area, your city and even your country. If you are an expat, if you travel or do business internationally, if you study a

broad or have friends and family in other countries, then your society is a wide and complex patchwork of cultures. And we love to explain it, because we believe that the more internationally connected this world is - with more cross-border communication, business and (say it loud!) romance - the more peaceful and prosperous it will be. With independent, daily reporting from around Europe, The Local is a window on life in other cultures. We capture the essence of nations by finding the stories that tell us who we are (and who those other people over there are), breaking down barriers and bringing us closer together. Description
Our entertaining blend of daily news, business and features has made the site essential reading for foreign professionals in Europe.
