Aargauer Zeitung and Limmattaler Zeitung become 2-Bund newspapers
From Saturday, May 1, 2010, the Aargauer Zeitung and the Limmattaler Zeitung will be published as 2-bundle newspapers. The previous four thinner bundles will become two bundles.
According to a press release issued by AZ Medien on Friday, the new division of the association will enable a clearer structure. The regions will be given a strong weight with their own second bundle, and the regional, journalistic competence and anchoring will also be formally emphasized. The number of departments and editorial pages will remain the same.
The first bundle is dedicated to national and international topics. It contains the opinion page, the topic of the day, domestic, foreign, business, national sport, national culture, special interest (knowledge, life, lifestyle, etc.). The second bundle is devoted to cantonal and regional topics. The front page of the second bundle features the most important topics from the respective region, the canton of Aargau and the canton of Zurich, in line with the Baden/Brugg/Zurzach, Aarau/Lenzburg-Seetal/Wynental-Suhrental, Freiamt or Fricktal and Limmattal editions. This is followed by cantonal topics, regional topics, regional sport and regional culture.
The Solothurner Zeitung, the Basellandschaftliche Zeitung and the Zofinger Tagblatt, which like the Aargauer Zeitung are part of the Mittelland Zeitung network, have already been published as a 2-bundle newspaper for several months and have met with a positive response from readers, according to the press release.
