Le Matin and 20 Minutes create sports agency
The sports editorial teams of the French-speaking Swiss media Le Matin, Le Matin Dimanche, Lematin.ch and 20 Minutes are merging to create the new news agency Sport-Center. This is to offer editorial content for the various media.
The goal is to bundle strengths and competencies, Tamedia wrote in a statement on Friday. For the time being, no layoffs are planned, Tamedia said when asked. However, this cannot be ruled out. The editorial team consists of about twenty journalists. Sport-Center is headed by Christian Despont, the current chief sports editor of Le Matin, Le Matin Dimanche and the online portal Lematin.ch.
