Triner submitted his concerns in an open letter in his newspaper on Saturday. According to the letter, Presto will reduce the wages of those who deliver the messenger of the Urschweiz in the morning by at least five percent from March 2011. It is unfair to cut the wages of those people who earn the least, writes Triner. The newspaper carriers do a very important and good job for his company. He is therefore prepared to bear the additional costs.
Presto is a subsidiary of Swiss Post. Triner is also addressing his appeal to the publishers NZZ and Tamedia, which are also on the Presto Board of Directors. The three companies merged their shareholdings in various distribution organizations in 2008.

According to Der Bund and the Tages-Anzeiger, the GPK report documents the image of a divided government body whose members acted in an uncoordinated manner and overstepped their competencies. The GPK itself is also criticized for appearing helpless when giving advice for the future. The proposed corrections are little more than cosmetic. The commentator in the Basler Zeitung notes that the GPK "appears tame" with "soft-spoken sentences, wadded-up criticism and well-balanced legal explanations". This is annoying, but also understandable, as the diplomatic crisis with Libya is not yet over.

Calmy-Rey should leave after presidential year
The Fribourg newspaper La Liberté is particularly harsh on the Federal Council. The Libya affair is above all a Merz and Calmy-Rey affair. Merz (and Leuenberger) have now resigned, Micheline Calmy-Rey would do well to do the same after her presidential year, the commentator advises. The Tribune de Genève describes Merz as a "public danger". If he were still in office, his resignation would be inevitable. The Geneva daily also has nothing but scorn for Micheline Calmy-Rey. She had worked for herself and against the others. Only by successfully internationalizing the conflict did she secure her election as President of the Swiss Confederation in 2011.
The fact that the head of the FDFA will take over the presidency "is not exactly a promise of improvement", notes Südostschweiz. The report exposes the Federal Council's standard response to the state of affairs in the committee as "whitewashing". The report is "an embarrassment on 98 pages", headlined Blick Online.

As with the UBS crisis
The Libya affair paints the same picture as the UBS affair, notes the St. Galler Tagblatt. In turbulent times, the Federal Council turns out to be a group of lone fighters who distrust each other. The Neue Zürcher Zeitung also draws a comparison with the UBS affair: the ultimately positive result is at odds with the poor management and miserable communication during the crisis. The collegial system with its division of responsibilities is increasingly reaching its limits in extraordinary situations.
The commentator in the AZ-Gesamtausgabe noted that the Federal Council is the most difficult community of fate of all: "Seven alpha animals with equal rights in one body - that's an attempt to square the circle." The permanent experiment usually only becomes problematic when a problem takes on international dimensions.

Under the motto "You have the fun, we have the technology", Conrad is calling on DIY enthusiasts and tinkerers to give free rein to their creativity and implement their ideas with materials from the specialist store. The company, which positions itself as the "official supplier to all technology fans", is showing the results on Facebook, in TV commercials and on Technikspass.deThe "safest bicycle lock in the world" and a ball machine for Jerry the dog are just two of the projects.

The Hamburg advertising agency Vasata Schröder Florenz is responsible for the campaign.

Specifically, it concerned two reports from November 5 and December 14 of last year. At its public meeting in Bern on Friday, Ubi criticized the fact that Tele Züri had breached its journalistic duty to present a factual report and had spread rumours. The report on the arrest of Carl Hirschmann had violated the presumption of innocence. It should have been made clear in the broadcast that the reasons for the arrest were unclear, Ubi President Roger Blum told the news agency SDA on Saturday, confirming a statement from Hirschmann's media representative.
Ubi also criticized the lack of critical scrutiny of the sources. An anonymous witness made serious accusations against Hirschmann in the TV report based on alleged statements by a friend. Ubi also criticized the journalists from Tele Züri for not giving Hirschmann the opportunity to comment. As Blum went on to say, Ubi's written justification will not be available for several months.
Jetsetter Hirschmann is repeatedly involved in legal proceedings. At the end of November, the Zurich-Limmat public prosecutor's office brought charges against him. In addition to multiple counts of assault and battery, he is also accused of sexually assaulting two women and sexual acts with a child. Hirschmann's defense describes the indictment as "completely rushed and incomplete". Exculpatory material is being kept under lock and key and a specialist medical report has been dismissed.

The amendment to the articles of association makes it possible to register Tamedia as a shareholder of ZO Medien. Peter Edelmann, Director of ZO Medien, told SDA on request that the decision in principle had been taken with only a few votes against. The clear result was a vote of confidence in the new cooperation.
Tamedia is taking over the 38 percent of shares previously held by NZZ. As Edelmann explained, ZO Medien is thus gaining a strong minority shareholder, but will remain independent. This independence is contractually guaranteed until 2019. The cross-shareholding between ZO Medien and Zürichsee Medien will be abolished. According to Edelmann, the aim is to distribute the 10 percent stake among existing shareholders and attract new shareholders. Zürichsee Medien holds a 7.5 percent stake in the Oberland media company.
Zürcher Oberland Medien AG employs around 100 people. The shareholder base is broad and consists of around 550 small shareholders from the region.
Merging the local editorial offices
The background to Tameda's investment in ZO Medien is the exchange of newspaper titles between the Tamedia media group and the NZZ Group in the spring. The NZZ Group received the Thurgauer Zeitung, which will be integrated into the Eastern Switzerland Tagblatt group. In return, NZZ transferred to Tamedia its shares in Zürcher Unterländer and Zürichsee-Zeitung, which previously produced their national pages together with Zürcher Oberländer.
With Tamedia's entry into the regional newspapers, the local editorial offices of the Tages-Anzeiger and the regional newspapers will be merged. A total of 37 jobs will be lost as a result of the cooperation, whereby the Tages-Anzeiger in particular will be downsized. In future, the individual newspapers will draw from the same editorial pool. The readers of the Tages-Anzeiger will continue to receive more concise information on local and regional events, while those of the regional newspapers will receive more detailed information.
The domestic, foreign, business and cultural pages of the three regional newspapers will be produced by Landbote from the beginning of next year. Landbote editor-in-chief Colette Gradwohl will take over the management of the editorial office. The editorial team of the Zürcher Oberländer is not affected by the job cuts. Edelmann said that three people from the Tages-Anzeiger local editorial team had even been taken on. The ZO has been supplying the Tages-Anzeiger with local and regional information from the Zurich Oberland since Wednesday.

Syndicom will be presided over by Comedia co-president Danièle Lenzin and Geko president Alain Carrupt. The new union will become operational on January 1, 2011. Following the Geko delegates, who have already approved the merger by 142 votes to 4 with 3 abstentions, the Comedia delegates also said yes to the joint project on Friday by 84 votes to 4. This was stated by Comedia spokeswoman Nina Scheu at the request of SDA.
Syndicom will thus become one of the three largest unions in the Swiss Federation of Trade Unions. More important, however, is more union and political clout, more weight in the public debate and the social partnership, as Syndicom announced on Friday.

You pass an eye test if you can read twisted letters correctly. In everyday life, however, the letters are never actually twisted. But they dance around in front of your eyes or you can no longer recognize every single one so precisely. Or they are simply printed too small.

The Swiss Internet TV Pool is a bundling of all video advertising slots on the Internet platforms of prominent TV brands such as RTL, ProSieben, SAT.1, Vox, Mtv, Kabel eins, Viva and Super RTL. The two best-known national Internet TV websites Wilmaa and Zattoo round off the composition of the new pool, which has the highest video reach in Switzerland with 15 million views.
In the Swiss Internet TV Pool, a single video advertising format can be used across all advertising media either as a pre-roll or mid-roll lasting up to 30 seconds. Similar to interstitial advertising on traditional TV, the online spots are shown before or between the main video.
