In 2018, the media outlet introduced a subscription model and a paywall. A subscription gives readers unlimited access to all publications, an exclusive monthly briefing, and premium offers. Die Tagespresse doesn't use advertisements or subsidies from public or private donors.
In January 2022, the media outlet exceeded 10,000 subscriptions (Der Standard) and is now the country's first alternative news source (Digital News Report Network Austria 2022).
It was founded in 2013, inspired by other satirical online media, such as The Onion (US) and Der Postillon (Germany). The media outlet's founder and editor-in-chief, Fritz Jergitsch, has won several prizes across cabaret, entertainment, and journalism.
