Top of the week 2: NZZ launches "Equity"
Starting February 9, 2012, an additional insert titled «Equity» will appear in the Neue Zürcher Zeitung every Thursday. This move coincides with the discontinuation of Swiss Equity Media’s print publications as of the end of 2011.
From March 8, the "Equity" magazine will also be published once a month on Thursdays as a supplement to the Neue Zürcher Zeitung, as the media company announced on Tuesday evening. The content of the magazine is directly related to events accompanying the topic and is dedicated to a specific sector or specialist topic from the world of entrepreneurs and investors. The first issue focuses on the "Watch industry in transition". According to the press release, all print publications will also be available digitally. In addition, specific additional online services in the area of business and financial information will be developed step by step. The overall editorial management is the responsibility of Peter A. Fischer, head of the business section of the Neue Zürcher Zeitung. Daniel Imwinkelried is responsible for the "Equity" section and the magazine, while Martin Lanz, Beat Gygi and Michael Rasch are responsible for the specialist editorial teams.
