NZZ soon with Bern regional section?
The NZZ is considering expanding into Bern with its own regional section. The decision is likely to depend on whether the Bund merges with the Bernerzeitung or is transformed into a supplement of the Tagesanzeiger.
The NZZ is considering expanding into Bern with its own regional section. "There is some interest in an NZZ with a Bern regional section", the press office told the Sonntagszeitung. However, it remains to be seen whether the project will be launched. The decision is likely to depend on Tamedia's strategy - whether the Bund will merge with the larger Bernerzeitung or be transformed into a Tagesanzeiger headline. The NZZ is unlikely to get involved in an attrition battle in Bern if Tamedia opts for the "Tagi-Bund" model, the Sonntagszeitung continues. The NZZ anticipates a potential of 20,000 copies or around 40,000 readers for the regional split edition.
