24 heures and Tribune de Genève raise paywall
The two French-speaking Swiss Tamedia titles 24 heures and Tribune de Genève launched a paywall on their websites on Thursday. From now on, only 20 articles per month are free without a subscription.
Following the introduction of a paywall for the Tages-Anzeiger and the newspaper Der Bund in 2014, Tamedia is now also introducing its new online strategy in French-speaking Switzerland. This will require a certain period of adjustment over the coming months, said Patrick Mattey, media spokesperson for the Group's publications in French-speaking Switzerland.
The experiences from Zurich and Bern are "encouraging". The price per month for full access to the digital platforms is CHF 29. For existing subscribers to the newspaper, access to the websites is free of charge.
