Berner Zeitung must also make sacrifices

The day after the announcement of the drastic measures at Bund and Tagi, further details have emerged. Berner Zeitung, which also belongs to Tamedia, will also have to cut three jobs. Two relate to the Bernerzeitung.ch online editorial team, the third to the publishing house. Furthermore, the Bund will no longer take over the sports section from the Berner Zeitung. A separate Bund sports editorial team is to be set up, as the Berner Zeitung writes on Friday.
In general, the decisions are viewed positively in the Friday edition of both newspapers.
Following Tamedia's decision, the Berner Tageszeitung was pleased to announce on several pages that readers in Bern will still be able to choose between the newspapers in future. In an interview with the Berner Zeitung, Martin Kall said that Tamedia would ensure that the Bund, reinforced by the Tages-Anzeiger, would remain a Bernese newspaper.
Various voices are quoted in the Bund. The daily newspaper will also make the best of this situation, said former Bund editor-in-chief Peter Ziegler. However, the solution would amount to the abolition of Bern as a journalistically and politically independent media location.
