Aargauer Zeitung soon with Sunday edition?

Peter Wanner, publisher of the Aargauer Zeitung (AZ), is thinking out loud about a Sunday edition of his paper. For Wanner, who has just been voted Publisher of the Year by the industry journal Schweizer Journalist, the project is already much more than a mere sketch. In the corresponding press release issued by SDA on Wednesday, some details have already been revealed: As with Südostschweiz am Sonntag, the Sunday edition of AZ would be planned as the seventh edition of the daily newspaper and not as an independent publication. Mittelland Zeitung, already a partner of AZ, is also part of the project. The planned circulation is 200,000 copies, which is large enough to be competitive on the national advertising market.
