Eduard Bacher

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Edouard Bacher (born in Pastelberg, March 17, 1846) was an Austrian jurisconsult and journalist. Graduating from the University of Vienna, he engaged in practise as an advocate, in which career he displayed such marked ability that some years later the Reichsrat appointed him its chief stenographer. In 1872 Bacher entered the employ of the Neue Freie Presse", the paper which later became Die Presse, as a parliamentary reporter, and on May 1, 1879, he became the chief editor of the paper.
