 The publishing companies of the two Lucerne newspapers Willisauer Boten and Seetaler Boten have reorganized their cooperation in the areas of printing and publishing. They have founded two companies for this purpose. In future, the newspapers will be produced by the same publishing house. The Willisauer Bote Medien und Print cooperative (Willisauer Bote, Wiggertaler Bote), based in Willisau, acquired the majority of shares in S-Medien (Seetaler Bote), based in Hochdorf, last summer. On Monday, they announced the founding of the two new joint companies.
These are SWS Medien Print and SWS Medien Verlag. SWS stands for the Sursee, Willisau and Seetal regions. The Willisauer Bote cooperative holds a stake in S-Medien. It holds an undisclosed majority stake in the new companies.
The three regional newspapers will now be produced by SWS Medien Verlag. The titles remain the property of the Willisauer Bote cooperative and S-Medien respectively. The newspapers will continue to be printed at the Neue Luzerner Zeitung printing center.
The editorial offices will remain in Willisau and Hochdorf. The journalistic independence of the newspapers is guaranteed, according to the press release.
SWS Medien Print operates sales and service outlets in Hochdorf, Sursee and Willisau as well as a printing center for the industrial production of print products in Sursee. For print shop customers from the Willisau and Seetal regions, the existing locations in Willisau and Hochdorf will be retained.
