About YANUS
YANUS is an independent Austrian online magazine
We report on what happens behind the scenes — on power structures, financial interests, and political decisions that rarely make it into the daily newspaper. YANUS stands for investigative journalism, in-depth analysis, and the courage to ask uncomfortable questions — in Austria, Europe, and the world.
YANUS - The Two Faces of Power
The name stems from Janus, the Roman god with two faces. One face looks to the past, the other to the future. One face sees politics, the other economics.
Janus guarded the borders between the visible and the hidden — between what is said and what really happens. YANUS works precisely there: at the interface between power and truth, between Austria and the world.
January carries its name. YANUS carries its mission.
