Top Story of the Week: "20 minutes" Reaches Its 1,000th Issue
Four years after its launch, 20 minutes—the French-speaking Swiss counterpart to 20 Minuten—is publishing its 1,000th issue this week. The commuter newspaper in its current form was created in late September 2009 through the merger of the two French-speaking Swiss commuter newspapers, Le Matin Bleu and 20 minutes.
The French-language newspaper was launched in French-speaking Switzerland on March 8, 2006. In four years, its certified readership rose from 276,000 to 526,000. Together with its partner newspaper, 20 Minuten, in German-speaking Switzerland, this commuter newspaper reaches the largest readership nationwide.
The online edition, 20 minutes online, currently has approximately 2,012,000 unique visitors in Switzerland. The company announced on Tuesday that a new version with a revamped design and expanded content will go live in the coming days. The online content is produced by a 14-member editorial team. 20 minutes and 20 minutes online are published by 20 minutes Romandie. The company currently employs a total of 68 people.
