Moriz Benedikt
This article is about the Viennese newspaper editor. For the neurologist with a similar name, see Moritz Benedikt.
Moriz Benedikt (sometimes spelled Moritz) (27 May 1849 – 18 March 1920), a Viennese Jew born in Krasice, was a long-time editor of Neue Freie Presse and a powerful figure in Austrian politics and society.
He was subeditor from 1872 to 1880, then associate editor and editor-in-chief from 1908 to the day he died.[1]
The satirist Karl Kraus was a persistent critic of Benedikt and his (and his paper's) consistent pro-Jewish stance.[2]
He died in Vienna.
