The first issue published on Tuesday after the relaunch is dedicated to the history of disabled sport in Switzerland. The team from Procap's communications department (Anita Huber, Matthias Engel, Urs Manz and Bruno Schmucki) worked closely with the Bern-based graphic and design studio Büro Z to implement the new concept for the members' magazine.
The magazine is published quarterly in German and French with an Italian section. Procap claims to be Switzerland's largest association of and for people with disabilities. The disability organization has 20,000 members in around 50 local sections.

In a statement on Tuesday, the government expressed its satisfaction that both Bakom and the broadcaster itself acknowledged the incomplete compliance with the licensing provisions for the Schaffhausen program window. However, the situation remains unsatisfactory. Once the underlying technical problem had been resolved on June 10, compliance with the provisions could be expected immediately. After all, the station is supported by license fees. A letter had therefore been sent to Bakom again.
As Bakom spokesperson Roberto Rivola told the SDA news agency on request, the dispute is about the fact that not all Schaffhausen municipalities are yet supplied via cable. A solution is being sought and Bakom has conducted negotiations with both sides. No one from the Schaffhausen government was available for comment on Tuesday afternoon. Tele Top is confident that a technical solution can be found, according to Managing Director Günter Heuberger. So far, however, there has been no certainty from the cable network operator. Tele Top is equipped for the program window in terms of personnel and editorial staff.

It was about the secretly prepared rescue of UBS by the federal government and the Swiss National Bank as well as Kurer's statements at the UBS General Meeting on 2 October 2008, when he said that UBS was one of the best-capitalized banks. In an article published on November 6, 2009, Blick reproduced the Federal Council's response to a question from Aargau FDP National Councillor Philipp Müller - under the title: "Federal Council: UBS-Kurer cheated". The text read, among other things: "Now the government indirectly confirms Kurer's false statements at the AGM." In the introduction to the article, Blick wrote "To this day, it is disputed whether Kurer glossed over the situation at the AGM in October 2008. Now Bern says: Yes, but it was 'expedient'."

Kurer complained of reputational damage
In his complaint to the Swiss Press Council, Kurer took issue with the title and the word "false statement" in particular. The newspaper had given the impression that he had lied. This damaged his reputation as a business leader of integrity. Kurer also argued that the newspaper had not listened to him and had not made the requested correction. As the Swiss Press Council stated in its decision published on Tuesday, Blick correctly reproduced the Federal Council's response. The assessments and the title were justifiable. It was not necessary to question Kurer, as the article only reported an official public statement. "Furthermore, the allegations were not new, but had already been published previously," the Press Council states.

According to Ringier, the deadline set by Le Monde was too short. This meant that neither discussions nor a well-founded analysis of the strengths and weaknesses profile were possible.

At the end of the week before last, Ringier's interest in a closer collaboration with Le Monde became known. An interface already exists today: Ringier holds a 47 percent stake in the French-speaking Swiss newspaper Le Temps, while Le Monde holds 2 percent.
