Most recently, the Uster Nachrichten was published with a circulation of 64,000 copies in the municipalities of Uster, Hinwil and Pfäffikon. Insufficient advertising revenue has now prompted the Board of Directors to give up the publication. The economic prospects of the Uster Nachrichten were further worsened by the ongoing shift of classified advertisements to the online business. According to the press release, advertising customers can publish advertisements already booked for the current year at the same conditions in the large circulation of the Tages-Anzeiger regional edition Zürcher Oberland. This is published on Tuesdays with a circulation of 103,390 copies. As a result of the discontinuation of the free newspaper, 3.2 jobs will be cut. Other positions within Tamedia are being sought for those affected. In the event of redundancies, Tamedia promises additional benefits.
