New Vaud regional newspaper launches on Thursday

One year after the discontinuation of "La Presse Nord vaudois", the northern Vaud region will once again have its own newspaper. The twice-weekly "La Région Nord vaudois" will be launched on Thursday, the SDA announced on Wednesday. The newspaper is intended to fill the lack of information caused by the disappearance of "La Presse Nord vaudois", the new publisher Isidore Raposo confirmed a report in the daily newspaper "Le Matin". Although the Edipresse daily "24 Heures" has since published a regional edition for this part of the canton, there is enough room for another title. The newspaper is distributed by subscription and at newsstands and is published on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The start-up budget amounts to over 2 million francs. Ten employees - including three journalists and a photographer - will produce the newspaper.
