Basler Zeitung to remain forum newspaper - editorial team welcomes decision
Die Basler Zeitung soll eine Forumszeitung bleiben. Eine entsprechende Aussage des neuen Verwaltungsratspräsidenten Filippo Leutenegger wurde von der Redaktion begrüsst.
The Basler Zeitung is to remain a forum newspaper. Filippo Leutenegger had promised this at a meeting on Thursday, as the editorial office reported on Bazonline.ch announced. This journalistic commitment will be fully supported. BaZ should continue to offer "independent, non-partisan and critical reporting". The editorial team is convinced that the readership does not want a one-sided newspaper, but rather a variety of opinions and quality.
The new main shareholder of the holding company MVH, which is taking over BaZ, told the media in Zurich on Wednesday that he wanted a high-profile newspaper with a right-wing, middle-class orientation.
