Tamedia awards 20 Minuten printing jobs in part to competitors

Due to the large circulation of the Tages-Anzeiger, Zurich-based Tamedia is having the Tuesday edition of the commuter newspaper 20 Minuten printed in part by Basler Zeitung Medien, Espace Media in Berne and Ringier in Adligenswil from the end of February.

From the end of February, Zurich-based Tamedia will have the Tuesday edition of the commuter newspaper 20 Minuten printed in part by Basler Zeitung Medien, Espace Media in Berne and Ringier in Adligenswil. This is due to the new Tages-Anzeiger large circulation. The capacity at the Tamedia printing plant in Zurich is no longer sufficient. Tamedia spokesman Christoph Zimmer confirmed a report by the media service Kleinreport on Friday.  
The Zurich edition of 20 Minuten will continue to be printed in Zurich, the edition for the Bern region will be printed by Espace Media on Tuesday night, the Basel and St. Gallen versions will be printed in Basel and the copies for Lucerne will be printed in Adligenswil. The Tuesday edition of the Tages-Anzeiger is to be delivered to all households on the left and right banks of Lake Zurich, in the Zurich Oberland and in the Zurich Unterland from the end of February, as reported by SDA. These are the areas outside the city of Zurich that include a regional split.
