The weekly has a science supplement, Heureka, which is supported by the Austrian Ministry of Education and Science.{{cite web|title=Biotechnology|url=http://ec.europa.eu/research/biosociety/pdf/ebe_report_300603_ec.pdf|work=EU|accessdate=5 October 2013|format=Report|date=31 May 2002|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131007123457/http://ec.europa.eu/research/biosociety/pdf/ebe_report_300603_ec.pdf|archivedate=7 October 2013}} The supplement features critical analyses of scientific activities, science policy, science/society relationships and university-based science and each issue focuses on a scientific topic, including genetics, science and politics among the others. It is distributed not only to the readers of Falter but also to university departments, the relevant ministries and other related institutions.
In addition to its original role as a magazine of the arts and social life, Falter has also developed a reputation for investigative journalism.
The 2007 circulation of Falter was 63,000 copies. In 2010 its circulation was 48,000 copies.{{cite web|title=Western Europe Media Facts. 2011 Edition|url=http://conan.lib.muohio.edu/ebooks/Western_Europe_Market_MediaFact/2011/Western%20Europe%20Market%20%26%20MediaFact%202011.pdf|work=ZenithOptimedia|accessdate=6 March 2016|archive-date=27 September 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220927084117/http://conan.lib.muohio.edu/ebooks/Western_Europe_Market_MediaFact/2011/Western%20Europe%20Market%20%26%20MediaFact%202011.pdf|url-status=dead}} Since then, print journalism has seen readical changes in Austria.
