From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lëtzebuerger Journal is a daily newspaper in Luxembourg. It holds a centrist liberal editorial position, supporting the Democratic Party.
The newspaper was first published on 5 April 1948, replacing the Obermosel-Zeitung and l'Unio'n, which ceased publication on the previous Saturday.[1] 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.[1]
In 2004, the newspaper had a circulation of 5,150 copies per day, which made it the fifth most widely-circulated of the country's (then) six daily newspapers.[2] 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 is much greater than this circulation would suggest.[1]
