The new commuter newspaper will «combine the best elements of both papers,» said Tristan Cerf on the French-Swiss radio station Couleur 3. The plan is for the new free newspaper to bring together the news from *20 minutes* and the magazine sections from *Le Matin Bleu*. The first issue of the new commuter newspaper is scheduled to be published in early November.
Le Matin Bleu was published for four years. According to SDA, the merger of the two commuter newspapers resulted in the loss of 20 of the 70 total jobs across both newsrooms. Because some employees had already left the companies prior to the merger, there were ultimately ten layoffs. Discussions are underway between Tamedia and Edipresse to minimize the impact of these measures as much as possible. Another meeting is scheduled for next Tuesday.
