Liechtensteiner Volksblatt becomes a public limited company
Following in the footsteps of the *Liechtensteiner Vaterland*, the *Liechtensteiner Volksblatt* is also changing its corporate structure. As of October 1, the publishing company will be Liechtensteiner Volksblatt AG.
After the Liechtensteiner Vaterland, the Liechtensteiner Volksblatt is also changing its corporate form. Until now, the Liechtensteiner Volksblatt press association has acted as publisher, which will continue to exist for the time being, according to publishing director Dani Sigel in an interview with the SDA news agency. As of October 1, the publishing company will be Liechtensteiner Volksblatt AG, which was founded on September 14.
The company's Board of Directors is chaired by former Liechtenstein Foreign Minister Ernst Walch. The changes will make the company form "more flexible and agile", says Walch in an interview with Volksblatt. The newspaper is currently in its 129th year of publication with an annual turnover of around six million. It is the mouthpiece of the Progressive Citizens' Party (FBP). The newspaper of the Vaterländische Union (VU), Liechtensteiner Vaterland, also separated from its press association at the beginning of 2003 and has since belonged to the Vaduz media house.
