The waistband now slightly spiced up
The Bern-based daily newspaper *Der Bund* is committed to quality. The former NZZ subsidiary—now a Tamedia company—aims to counter «journalistic superficiality and a lack of opinion» with a new concept.
The Bernese daily newspaper Der Bund is focusing on quality. The former NZZ subsidiary and current Tamedia company wants to counter "journalistic shortness of breath and lack of opinion" with a new concept, as Editor-in-Chief Arthur K. Vogel announced. As part of a gentle renovation, the editorial section has therefore been expanded. For example, more space will now be given to the Sunday interview and new areas will be explored that were previously neglected. Twice a week, on Tuesdays and Saturdays, the paper now deals with important contemporary issues under the heading "Society". The newspaper will also feature two columns twice a week. On Saturdays, cultural critic Konrad Tobler will address cultural policy issues, while the Management page, which previously appeared every two weeks, will now be published every Wednesday and is now called "Work".
Changes have also been made to the layout. From Monday, the general layout will be more generous and more color images will be used.
