Aargauer Zeitung: Central editorial office moves to Aarau

The main editorial offices of the Aargauer Zeitung (AZ) and the Mittelland Zeitung (MZ) are moving from Baden to Aarau in November. In the AZ media center, where the newspaper has been printed for a long time, the editorial team will work in an open-plan office. The heart of the editorial office will be a newsdesk for the newspaper, the online portal A-z.ch and the regional broadcaster Tele M1, as AZ announced in Wednesday's edition, according to SDA. This will keep distances short and allow reporting on all media channels. Tele M1 will move into new studios in the media center. The center is located in the Telli district just outside the city center. The rotary press for printing the newspaper is located here.
The editorial offices of the Sonntag newspaper and the AZ Foyer department as well as the local editorial offices in Baden, Brugg and Zurzach will remain in the AZ high-rise building in Baden, which was once built for the former Badener Tagblatt.
When the Aargauer Tagblatt and the Badener Tagblatt merged to form the AZ in 1996, the cantonal government described it as a "political mistake" that Baden had become the seat of the central editorial office and not the cantonal capital.
