Tagblatt der Stadt Zürich is published as a weekly for the first time
The Tagblatt der Stadt Zürich was published for the first time on Wednesday as a weekly city magazine in tabloid format. The Zurich City Council is not happy with the new format.
The Tagblatt der Stadt Zürich was published for the first time on Wednesday as a weekly city magazine in tabloid format. Tamedia announced the repositioning at the beginning of November 2006 (see ). The Tagblatt now focuses on the city's residents, such as Dagmar Windisch, producer of the musical "We will rock you". Other people featured in the current issue are light artist Gerry Hofsteller and a worm researcher. In addition, an editor reports on her experiences as a McDonald's employee.
A new recurring element is a docu-soap. In the form of a photo novel, Tagblatt readers will accompany a family of five from Wiedikon through the pre-Christmas period over the next few weeks. Tips for going out, a crime story and the city council column complete the content, which will continue to be supplemented with official news. On the other hand, daily news from politics, accidents and court cases have disappeared completely from the paper.
The Zurich City Council is not happy that the Tagblatt will only be published weekly in future, reports the news agency SDA. The new concept was a purely publishing decision, but the city had been informed of the reasons in advance. Tamedia announced at the beginning of November 2006 that the city of Zurich had been involved in the concept design. The city council considers the basic requirements for an official gazette to be fulfilled, but has already communicated suggestions for improvement to Tagblatt Ag. In addition, further developments will be monitored "critically".
