Only three bundles left for the Tages-Anzeiger
As of the end of June, the Tages-Anzeiger will no longer have four bundles, but only three. The adjustment is partly a consequence of declining advertising revenues.
As a result, the four bundles have become relatively thin, said Tamedia spokesman Christoph Zimmer when asked. However, Tamedia's adjustment of the Tages-Anzeiger is also a reaction to the increased occupancy of its Zurich printing center. That's because the Neue Zürcher Zeitung will also be printed there in the future. "So it was clear that we would have to change the previous
had to rethink production processes," Zimmer said.
Due to the reduction to three frets, the Tagi's page sequence has been adjusted. The business section now moves to the first fret. According to Zimmer, editorial pages will not be cut. With three bundles, however, it is also much better possible to set current priorities. The first bundle now includes the politics and business sections. This change reflects the development that economic and political topics are more closely linked, writes editor-in-chief Res Strehle in the Tages-Anzeiger on Wednesday. In the second bundle, the focus is to be on "proximity to the readership and the region". It now includes the Zurich and sports sections. Finally, the third bundle will combine culture, society and knowledge and be supplemented by daily service pages. According to Strehle, this bundle will be expanded into a reading bundle on Saturday. In doing so, the Tages-Anzeiger intends to focus on classic journalistic formats such as interviews, reports and portraits. (SDA)
