SDA: Foreign pages for the Berner Zeitung

From April 2010, the Berner Zeitung BZ will be cooperating with the news agency SDA in the production of its foreign pages. It is the first Swiss daily newspaper to use the new agency service.

The cooperation will not result in any redundancies at the editorial office of the Berner Zeitung BZ. The foreign editorial department, which is staffed by two editors, will be dissolved at the beginning of April 2010 as part of an ordinary retirement and an internal job transfer, according to a press release issued on Tuesday.
SDA has expanded its range of services as part of a new corporate strategy. The agency offers newspapers ready-made pages in their layout from the domestic, foreign, business, culture and miscellaneous sections or on desired special topics. In addition to the finished pages, the media are offered various text, online and graphics services.
