BAZ denies rumors of merger
The rumors currently circulating about a takeover or merger between the Basler Zeitung and the NZZ have been categorically denied. The BAZ reported this in a statement released on Friday.
"Is the Basler Zeitung going to the NZZ Group?" asks the Tages-Anzeiger on Friday and immediately follows up: "The Swiss daily press is facing the next concentration - if nothing else goes wrong." But according to the BAZ, no negotiations are currently taking place with the NZZ. However, talks are being held with all major publishing groups about possible cooperations. These talks are taking place with the agreement of all Basler Zeitung shareholders.
Will there be another takeover in the Swiss press landscape?
