Crowdfunding for digital magazine "Republik" a resounding success

The desire for high-quality journalism in Switzerland seems to be high. The digital magazine "Republik" wants to position itself on the market as an alternative to the publications of the large media houses in Switzerland. The special feature: "Republik" will operate without advertising and is organized as a cooperative. A crowdfunding campaign was launched on April 26 with the aim of generating 750,000 francs through 3,000 memberships.

This target was clearly exceeded after just one day. In the meantime, over 1.5 million have already been collected (Status: 27.04.2017, 09:00) . The future of the project was made entirely dependent on the success of the crowdfunding. This means that nothing stands in the way of the launch of the digital magazine without advertising.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HH_MXE7oHk8Auch The Swiss media project met with a great response on Twitter:https://twitter.com/mmmatze/status/857213580227248128https://twitter.com/SibylleBerg/status/857213238475358208https://twitter.com/sam_chinaski/status/857212229061660672https://twitter.com/claudelongchamp/status/857204653477556224https://twitter.com/gabrielvetter/status/857095583571554305https://twitter.com/cedricwermuth/status/857115014020440064https://twitter.com/VinzenzWyss/status/857128921145409536https://twitter.com/sina_jb/status/857127780835889153https://twitter.com/Putti_Casanova/status/857129935680548865Update on 27.04.2017, 09:00
