Apart from a handful of books all written Austrian media is in Standard Austrian German.
Standard German but some words occasionally might originate from dialect (“Bim”, “Jaukerl”, etc.).
Kronen Zeitung is written in outrage, bigottery and latent racism.
Nothing is really written in Austro-Bavarian. Here on /r/austria and /r/wien there are even rules in place discriminating using the language these days…
Most media in Austria is an Standard Austrian German, which is basically just Standard German with a few different or additional words.
The differences are minuscule.
Standard Austrian German so similar to us-English vs uk-English vocabulary is a bit different but same sentence building.
This newspaper however is placed on the political right side.
The “Steirerkrone” just means that this “regional” issue for Steiermark contains more news from that region specifically, like the very first headline on the left in your pic: “Suizid-Drama in Graz” (Graz is the capital city of this part of Austria) If you would have bought the Kronen Zeitung for this day in any other part of Austria (Vienna or Salzburg etc) it most likely would not have featured this “local” story. The language is everywhere the same: Austrian German.
