Freiburger Nachrichten works more closely with Espace Media
The Freiburger Nachrichten will continue to be printed at the Paulus Druckerei in Freiburg. The offer from the Bern-based Espace Media Groupe was therefore not accepted. However, the newspaper would like to strengthen its collaboration with the media company in the future.
Freiburger Nachrichten will continue to be printed by Paulusdruckerei in Fribourg. The offer from the Bern-based Espace Media Groupe was not successful. However, the newspaper would like to intensify its work with the media company in future. The two offers from Paulusdruckerei and Espace Media Groupe were comparable, Felix Bürdel, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Freiburger Nachrichten, told the news agency SDA on Wednesday. The decision was therefore made in favor of the Fribourg printing company, which has been printing the newspaper since 1875, with comparable conditions for the next three years. A decision in favor of the Bernese offer would probably have made political waves in the bilingual canton of Fribourg. Fears about the cohesion of the language communities and the marginalization of the bilingual canton of Fribourg were voiced in the run-up to the decision.
At Paulusdruckerei, Freiburger Nachrichten will also benefit from a modernization of the rotary press and the renewed forwarding system, the Board of Directors explained its decision in a press release on Wednesday. In future, all pages will appear in four colors. This will also allow advertisements to be better placed.
Cooperation with Espace to be intensified The Board of Directors of Freiburger Nachrichten intends to maintain its cooperation with the Bern-based Espace Media Groupe. The cooperation that has existed for five years in the areas of editing, advertising combination and IT is even to be intensified and expanded in the coming years. Negotiations are planned for the coming year. The Board of Directors justifies this step with the major upheavals in the Swiss press landscape. Cooperation models are of existential importance for the regional daily press. However, the Freiburger Nachrichten is to remain an independent and autonomous newspaper.
