Baz discontinues Sunday edition
The Baz newspaper in Basel is discontinuing its Sunday edition. As a replacement, Baz subscribers will receive the Sunday paper every weekend starting March 3.
Following the decision to discontinue the previous seventh edition of the Basler Zeitung, the publisher had examined combination offers with other existing Sunday newspapers. Thanks to the decision in favor of a joint offer with the Sonntagszeitung, the editorial team of the Basler Zeitung can concentrate fully on the weekday newspaper editions, according to a Tamedia release on Friday. At the same time, the Basler Zeitung Medien publishing house is strengthening its economic foundation.
Subscribers to the Basler Zeitung will benefit from up-to-date and comprehensive coverage of politics, society, culture, travel and sports on the seventh day of the week with the Sonntagszeitung, the statement added. The publishers of the Basler Zeitung and the Sonntagszeitung would thus strengthen the attractiveness of the Basler Zeitung as a daily newspaper and the reach of the Sonntagszeitung in the Basel economic area. In addition to the Alpha, the Sonntagszeitung will also be accompanied in the Basel region by the Basler Zeitung's "Arbeit & Stellen" jobs supplement. Subscribers who do not wish to receive the Sonntagszeitung could withdraw from the offer.
