Swiss newspaper Gazzetta Svizzera at risk?
The Swiss abroad in Italy fear that the Swiss abroad newspaper Gazzetta Svizzera could be discontinued as part of the Confederation's cost-cutting measures. They have therefore launched a motion.
According to a report in the Ticino newspaper, the Swiss Abroad in Italy expressed fears at a congress in Milan that the Swiss Abroad newspaper Gazzetta Svizzera could continue to exist only as an Internet version or be discontinued altogether as a result of the federal government's cost-cutting measures. The representatives of the organizations of the Swiss abroad have therefore expressed their wish in a motion that the newspaper should continue to be published as before. The counterpart to the German-language Swiss Review, which is published eleven times a year, receives substantial support from the Confederation. The total circulation of the magazine for the Swiss abroad, which is published in German, French, Italian, English and Spanish, is 360,000 copies, with 29,000 copies of the Italian edition being sent to all Swiss nationals registered with the representation there.
