The 40th edition of the NZZ Chronik is being published today. Since 1968, the Neue Zürcher Zeitung has offered a review of the year's most important events at the end of each year. The anniversary edition is being published for the first time in magazine form, with expanded content including commentaries, generous photo spreads, graphics and an agenda for 2009, according to a press release issued on Tuesday. It is also supplemented with reviews of events 100 and 200 years ago from the NZZ archive. "Because only those who know what happened can assess what is."
In terms of content, the new publication offers a wide range of topics for 2008: from the global financial crisis and its global economic consequences to the election of the first black president in the USA, famines and environmental disasters with thousands of victims, wars, the ups and downs of international commodity prices and the European Football Championship.
Starting on December 1 of the previous year, the NZZ Chronicle covers a period of twelve months, which is seamlessly followed by the next year. The next Chronicle will be published on December 18, 2009. From Wednesday, the annual review will be sold individually at newsstands and will also be available in a hardcover edition in bookshops or from NZZ Libro.
