L'Hebdo celebrates a quarter of a century

The western Swiss weekly magazine L'Hebdo is celebrating its 25th anniversary on Thursday. To mark the occasion, the weekly magazine is publishing a 180-page special edition. In this anniversary edition, the editorial team traces how the world has changed over the last 25 years. At the same time, the journalists offer an outlook on the coming quarter of a century, as reported by SDA.
The paper, published by Ringier, saw the light of day in the same year as the first IBM PC or the first TGV. 25 years later, the newspaper has a weekly readership of 217. L'Hebdo is increasingly successful with its blogs. The newspaper is also doing better commercially than ever before: this year alone, advertising revenue increased by 57 percent.
