Controversy
In 2004 Elfriede Jelinek, a long-time and sharp critic of the newspaper, was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. Despite this being a major event for Austria, the main headline on the Kronen Zeitung's first page read "You may lose your driving licence" and a short article about Jelinek was hidden deep within the paper. Over the years the paper had been at odds with her and its columnists had aggressively denounced her.
On 28 July 2012, the Krone published photos from the Syrian civil war that were blatantly manipulated.

Famous quotes containing the word controversy:
“And therefore, as when there is a controversy in an account, the parties must by their own accord, set up for right Reason, the Reason of some Arbitrator, or Judge, to whose sentence, they will both stand, or their controversy must either come to blows, or be undecided, for want of a right Reason constituted by Nature; so is it also in all debates of what kind soever.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
“Ours was a highly activist administration, with a lot of controversy involved ... but I’m not sure that it would be inconsistent with my own political nature to do it differently if I had it to do all over again.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
