Limmattaler Tagblatt becomes Limmattaler Zeitung

 The daily newspaper Limmattaler Tagblatt, which is part of the Mittelland-Zeitung group, is changing its name to Limmattaler Zeitung as of September 15. This was decided by the Board of Directors of the publisher Limmattaler Tagblatt with a view to the launch of the Sunday edition, as detailed in a press release. The change is in line with the title structure of the newspaper group. The Sunday edition of the Mittelland Zeitung will be published for the first time next Sunday; for the Limmattal it will appear as "Sonntag LZ". According to the press release, however, nothing more than the title head will change: the "Limmattaler" will remain the locally and regionally anchored daily newspaper for the Dietikon district and the municipality of Bergdietikon. It will continue to be produced by the same editorial and publishing staff. There will also be no changes to the journalistic orientation. The appearance, bundle structure, newspaper structure and content will also remain unchanged during the week.
The Oltner Tagblatt, which is also part of the Mittelland Zeitung association and will therefore appear with a seventh edition from Sunday, has no similar plans to change its name: "There is no reason to rename this title," said editor-in-chief Kurt Schibler on request.
