The State of Vorarlberg on the Internet

In an age of ever more intensive and ever faster communications processes and an ever denser media landscape, the tasks of the State Press Office as the media and public service centre of the State of Vorarlberg are also becoming more extensive and more complex. 

Citizen information comes first

Informing the citizens of Vorarlberg on the aims and activities of the State of Vorarlberg is the main function of the State Press Office. In most cases the information is communicated via the domestic media. The various media are provided with information in a systematically developed and smoothly running system. In some cases communication takes place in direct contact with the citizens.

Media evaluation

The State Press Office also fulfils communication functions in the opposite direction. It documents and evaluates the media reports on the State of Vorarlberg, thereby forming the basis for the corresponding responses and mutual communication. 

Media organisation and own media

The State Press Office is responsible for coordinating all schedules and for various organisational tasks in the media sector, e.g. the keeping of a digital image archive, placement of advertisements, media coverage of State campaigns etc. In addition to this it also publishes its own media such as the  Vorarlberg Magazine and various brochures, as well as coordinating the State's Internet presence (www.vorarlberg.at - link to German page).

National and international media work

Alongside this media and citizen information work in Vorarlberg, the State Press Office organises and coordinates the media presence of the State of Vorarlberg at national and supraregional events (e.g. Arge Alp, International Lake Constance Conference), thus assuming an important function in the presentation of our State to the outside world.
