The youth newspaper Haifaif, published by the Südostschweiz Media Group and distributed between Chur and the upper part of Lake Zurich, is no longer available. The last issue was published on Thursday. The High5 members' club has also been dissolved.
With over 10,000 subscribers, Haifaif from the Südostschweiz publishing house in Chur was the largest independent youth newspaper in Switzerland, the "Team High5" association announced on Friday. The end came as a "surprise", according to SDA. The closure of the newspaper had become necessary due to the rapidly changing habits of young people with regard to media use. Südostschweiz-Verlag plans to have a new youth concept in place in a year's time. The 30 or so young journalists who regularly wrote for Haifaif want to launch a new project on their own.
The youth newspaper was added to the Südostschweiz newspaper network from May 2003 and was sent exclusively to club members from summer 2004. Both the members' club and the newspaper remained products of the Südostschweiz publishing house.
