Der Standard is published on distinctive pink paper. It was founded by Oscar Bronner as a financial newspaper and the first edition was published on 1988-10-19. Bronner remains the paper's publisher and he is also nominally the editor-in-chief along with Alexandra Föderl-Schmid, who handles the day-to-day editing. When Föderl-Schmid took over from Gerfried Sperl in July 2007, Der Standard became the first Austrian newspaper to have a female editor-in-chief.

The paper's general editorial stance could be described as socially liberal and most of its regular columnists also tend to this position, although guest writers come from a wide variety of political positions. Der Standard is the most widely read newspaper among people with college or university education. It is a paper from which the foreign media readily quote when an opinion from the Austrian press is required.

Der Standard has run its own web portal - derstandard.at - since February 1995 and claims this was the first appearance of a German-language newspaper on the web. In March 2006, according to Die Österreichische Webanalyse, derstandard.at had a readership of 1,137,111 users and is consequently one of the largest and most wide-ranging web portals in Austria. Articles published online can be commented on by registered users. -- A full online edition (Der Standard digital) is available as an e-paper on a subscription-basis.
