New monthly magazine "Reformiert" about to be launched

 The new monthly magazine "Reformiert" will be published for the first time on Friday in the cantons of Bern, Zurich, Aargau and Graubünden. The magazine, which has an impressive circulation of 700,000 copies, sees itself as the "weighty voice of the Reformed in German-speaking Switzerland". The twelve-page, four-color publication in newspaper format aims to focus on "people and the world they live in", according to a press release. Reformiert also aims to promote dialog with other denominations, religions and world views. Four different editorial teams are involved in the magazine: The Kirchenbote Aargau, Graubünden and Zurich and the Bernese Saemann. However, those responsible emphasize that this is not a "merger, but a cooperative product". The independence of the editorial offices is guaranteed in a statute and coordination is the responsibility of a supporting association.
Reformiert is published monthly in the cantons of Aargau, Graubünden and Bern and fortnightly in the canton of Zurich. The regional and local roots are to be maintained: The information from the parishes that was previously integrated into the newspapers will in future be published in a second newspaper bundle or enclosed with the newspaper. Logistically, this is a challenge: around 250 different splits have to be put together correctly and delivered to the right delivery address at the right time. Reformiert is printed by Ringier Print Adligenswil. The magazine also accepts advertisements. These are limited to a maximum of 1.5 pages per issue.
