Blick wrote in the ArticleBorer had called the police to his villa and quoted an anonymous informant who claimed that Borer's wife Shawne had "flipped out". The newspaper also mentioned an old story: Borer's wife had already called the police eight years ago in Berlin. Because he did not have a license for his service weapon, proceedings were opened against Borer at the time. Borer feels his personal rights have been violated by the article. "I will enforce them legally if necessary," Borer told the Sonntagszeitung. According to former head of the press council Peter Studer, Borer certainly has a chance of winning against Ringier once again. Rehashing long-discontinued petty offenses such as the matter with the service weapon could be seen by a judge as a violation of personal rights. "Especially if such trivial matters are coupled with rumors about marital quarrels and spread," Studer told the Sonntagszeitung.
Blick reacted calmly. Ringier spokesman Stefan Hackh told the Sonntag newspaper that Borer's personal rights were not affected by the article. The new Blick editor-in-chief Ralph Grosse-Bleywho is responsible for the article, was already one of the driving forces behind the scandal story in 2002 as head of copywriting at Sonntagsblick and later had to resign as a result.

Together with the three new winners, Herisau AR, Fehraltorf ZH and the Entlebuch Region LU association of municipalities, 30 towns or municipalities in Switzerland already hold the Green Can Award. The award honors those who are particularly innovative and sustainable in the collection of various recyclable materials.
In the fight against littering, Herisau has been pursuing a clear strategy with campaigns since 2006. New litter garbage cans and Robidogs, posters on public transport and media work have been used in the town to combat careless littering. Herisau is one of the three winners of the Green Can Award for this activity and for a Winwin market where all items can be disposed of and purchased for recycling and reuse.

The upcoming campaign will focus on the joie de vivre and authenticity of Cuban rum, the country and "el culto a la vida". It will be implemented virally and as a guerrilla campaign. It will be launched at the end of April.

In the previous financial year, the loss amounted to CHF 20.9 million. In the previous year, the loss amounted to 42.1 million francs. Turnover fell further by almost a quarter to 1.6 billion francs. In its press release on Friday, the advertising marketer attributes the drop in turnover in particular to the decline in the print advertising markets.
Publigroupe intends to forego the distribution of a dividend. In addition, two new board members are to be added to the top management body. Kjell Aamot and Andreas M. Schönenberger have been proposed for election. Kjell Aamot was President and CEO of the international media group Schibsted ASA from 1989 to 2009. Andreas M. Schönenberger was responsible for the Swiss market as Country Manager at Google for the last four years. Their competencies are in line with the Group's strategic priorities, according to the Publigroupe press release.
The Group's operating loss fell from CHF 40 million to CHF 4.5 million. This is the result of massive cost savings and the positive development of some business segments. A moderate improvement in results is expected for the current financial year, the press release continues. Costs are to be reduced by a further CHF 38 million. The company had already cut costs by CHF 55.1 million in 2009.
Almost all of Publigroupe's publishing holdings are now up for sale. Probably for strategic reasons, the publishing stake in Freie Presse Holding, which belongs to NZZ, is the only one not up for sale. Last year, the media marketer renewed the marketing contracts for the Neue Zürcher Zeitung, the St. Galler Tagblatt and the titles associated with the Neue Luzerner Zeitung. However, the investments in Edipresse, Südostschweiz Mediengruppe and Sociétà Neuchâteloise de Presse are also up for renewal. As Publigroupe CEO Hans-Peter Rohner said at the Publigroupe media conference on Friday, talks are currently underway and a negotiated solution is already foreseeable in some cases.
Publigroupe has already sold its stake in Basler Zeitung Medien this year. It was acquired in February by financier Tito Tettamanti and lawyer Martin Wagner.

The French-speaking Swiss media marketer has also sold off a fairly large number of other share packages from publishers in recent years. The intention is to get rid of the lead holdings in order to replace them with digital activities, as Rohner said at the conference. This is part of the Group's repositioning, which includes expanding its activities in the electronic media sector.

The award is endowed with a Leica M camera with engraved name. The prize, which has been awarded since 1971 for "exemplary use of photography in journalism", commemorates Dr. Erich Salomon, the photographer of the Weimar Republic, to whom modern photojournalism owes a great deal of inspiration, the DGPh announced on Friday. The award ceremony will take place at the end of September during the Photokina trade fair.
Michael von Graffenried is one of the "most independent and committed European photographers", as the society announced on Friday. It praised his extraordinary range of subjects. These range from civil wars to nudist movements. Graffenried is also a pioneer in the publication of his work. His "Cocainelove" photos of a drug-addicted couple on billboards were received as a manifesto for the renewal of photojournalism

Bley will take over as editor-in-chief of Blick with immediate effect. He has been interim editor-in-chief since July 2, 2009 and played a key role in the relaunch of Blick in October 2009. Under his leadership, Blick returned to the core of its brand with consistent tabloid content and a switch back to a large format, according to a Ringier press release. As editor-in-chief in the recently opened integrated newsroom of the Blick Group, Bley has the task of maintaining and further developing the specific character of the publication. He is entrusted with this task together with the editors-in-chief of Sonntagsblick, Blick am Abend and Blick.ch. He works together with his deputies Karsten Witzmann and Clemens Studer. Overall journalistic responsibility remains with the CEO of Ringier Switzerland and Germany, Marc Walder.
Ralph Grosse-Bley worked as a news editor for the Rhein-Zeitung from 1988. Among other things, he reported from Kuwait during the 1991 Gulf War. He then moved to Bild Zeitung, where he was managing editor for the cities of Dresden, Berlin, Leipzig and Madgeburg. After working as editor-in-chief at Radio 100.6 Berlin and as deputy head of Bild Zeitung in North Rhine-Westphalia, he worked as text director and deputy editor-in-chief of Sonntagsblick in 2001 and 2002. After the "Ringier-Borer affair", he had to leave the Ringier publishing house in 2002. His wife, the Berlin correspondent Alexandra Würzbach, had written in Sonntagsblick about an alleged love affair between the then Swiss ambassador Thomas Borer and a make-up artist. When Borer returned to Switzerland, the Ringier publishing house apologized for the reporting and paid compensation. Because the basis of trust was no longer there, as it was said at the time, Grosse-Bley then left Sonntags Blick.
In 2003, he moved back to Bild Zeitung, where he worked as Editorial Director Leipzig and from 2004 as Editorial Director New Federal States. From January to June 2009, he was deputy editor-in-chief of Blick and from July 2009 was interim editor-in-chief.

Eberle told SDA on Friday that the Appenzeller Zeitung had portrayed him as a backwoodsman. The editorial team had clearly gone too far with its reporting on tourism marketing, the trial in the case of the dismissed public prosecutor and the associated criticism of members of the Professional Ethics Committee.
Eberle believes that the decision taken by Carlo Schmid (CVP), the mayor of Innerrhoden and former member of the Council of States, was the right one. Schmid had canceled all Appenzeller Zeitung subscriptions to the Innerrhoden administration and the Standeskommission and shortly afterwards imposed an information ban on the paper with a circulation of 14,000 copies. According to Eberle, the editorial team will not be denied access to the council chamber. .
