In his book The World of Yesterday, Stefan Zweig, a feuilletonist for the newspaper, called the Neue Freie Presse "the oracle of my fathers and the temple of the high priests,"[3] and described its role as arbiter of literary and artistic culture in fin de siècle Vienna, especially for those who "had little to do with literature, and did not presume to make literary judgments":
[T]o them, and to the entire Viennese bourgeoisie, important works were those that won praise in the Neue Freie Presse, and works ignored or condemned there didn't matter. They felt that anything published in the feuilleton was vouched for by the highest authority, and a writer who pronounced judgment there demanded respect merely by virtue of that fact.[4]
The paper was the frequent target of satirist Karl Kraus.
