Der Standard
AustriaDer Standard is an Austrian daily newspaper based in Vienna, founded in 1988 by Oscar Bronner, and publishes in German. Its headlines centre on the United States, well ahead of the European Union, the Alpine region, Germany, Iran and China; politics leads the mix, economy and security follow, and society is smaller. Its stance reads as consistently critical of Donald Trump and the United States, and neutral toward Austria and Germany.
Political leaning and stance
Der Standard is consistently critical of Donald Trump and of the United States as governed by his administration, framing his actions as failures, overreach or controversy and quoting his claims with attribution rather than endorsement. The tone was at its sharpest, hostile and delegitimising, during the spring and has read as critical but more factual since. Austria and Germany are covered neutrally; where Germany draws critical distance, it targets specific politicians such as those of the AfD, not the country. The stance is measured from headlines toward countries and persons; it is not a rating of accuracy.
