CH Media relaunches news portals and introduces pay model throughout
CH Media has revamped the news portals for its newspaper titles and relaunched them on Wednesday. With this move, all portals will now have a paywall—meaning that, following the titles in Eastern and Central Switzerland, those in Northwestern Switzerland will also have one. In addition, CH Media now offers over 750 community pages.
Today, the news portal Bzbasel.ch and the portals in the Mittelland region - Aaargauerzeitung.ch, Badenertagblatt.ch, Solothurnerzeitung.ch, Oltnertagblatt.ch, Grenchnertagblatt.ch and Llimmatttalerzeitung.ch - have a paywall. Luzernerzeitung.ch and Tagblatt.ch have been subject to payment since May 2018. CH Media is thus relying on the freemium payment model for all news portals of its newspaper titles.
Visually and technically more appealing
The newspaper portals have been completely redesigned to offer a modern, uncluttered look and intuitive reader guidance, writes CH Media in a press release. This will enable readers to easily access the content that is relevant to them, opinion pieces and the latest news from their region.
Also new: 750 community pages
In addition to the news on the websites, readers in Eastern and Central Switzerland can access special community pages, which have been an important part of the offering on the previous portals in Northwestern Switzerland for some time. In addition to journalistic texts from the editorial team, these pages also contain reports from municipalities and associations. These can be entered by them and are clearly marked.
