News.ch: Relaunch for the 10th anniversary
News.ch was founded ten years ago as an independent and national daily newspaper with a classic editorial principle in the online sector that is not based on a print medium. From Wednesday, the online medium will appear with a new look. More emphasis will be placed on social media as well as opinion and commentary pieces.
According to editor-in-chief Kevin Lancashire, the decision was made to adapt the layout to the technical possibilities and to place much more emphasis on the possibilities of social media such as Facebook and Twitter during the relaunch. In future, for example, it will be possible to share articles with friends at the click of a mouse and subscribe to Twitter feeds. The new layout is also intended to provide quick orientation on the front page.
News.ch is also changing in terms of content. In addition to the basic provision of current news, more emphasis is also being placed on opinion and commentary pieces. In addition to the columnists Regula Stämpfli and Patrik Etschmayer, a number of young politicians now have their say every week in the political spectrum, where they shed light on a weekly topic from different political perspectives. Other content includes the ETH Zurich climate blog. In addition, more interviews are being conducted with specialists in order to publish background information. Switzerland is increasingly suffering from an opinion monoculture. Expert contributions, specialist blogs and background information are important means of differentiating oneself from other online news providers, according to deputy editor-in-chief and News.ch columnist Patrik Etschmayer.
