30 years of good newspaper: voice for hope for refugees in Austria!

Laimgrubengasse 10, 1060 Wien, Österreich - On December 17, 2024, the good newspaper, an important publication of the integration house, celebrated its 30th anniversary. Sepp Stranig, co -founder and publisher, proudly stated that the newspaper has been a clear voice for refugee people since its foundation. It illuminates the stories of people who have fled war, persecution and violence and are looking for a new life in Austria. This anniversary edition is particularly important because it appeared in an often tense political climate in which the challenges of flight and asylum remain acute. As stranig emphasized, it is essential to compete against a scapegoat policy, and instead to show the individual fates and dreams of those affected, which underlines the importance of this platform.

The good newspaper has been offering an insight into the life realities of refugee people since 1995. The reporting extends from the fates of the refugees from the former Yugoslavia in the 1990s to current stories from refugees from Syria, Afghanistan, Iran and Ukraine. Among other things, a Ukrainian family is reported that is looking for security in Austria, and a Syrian young man who has developed new perspectives thanks to the support in the Integration House after using flood aid. The integration house itself is more than just a place of residence-it offers psychosocial support, legal advice and various educational offers that enable successful integration, as integrationshaus.at

At a time when refugee people are often seen as objects of political fools, it is not only necessary to strengthen these voices, but also to report on the positive stories and successes that are made possible by committed support in the integration house. Stranig found that the importance of the good newspaper as a mouthpiece for people without a political voice is more current than ever. This publication is not only a chronicle of the past 30 years, but also a call to solidarity and social engagement in an increasingly polarized world, a topic that of ots.at
