Der Spiegel disappoints
The Swiss media reacted cautiously to the "Swiss Spiegel" split.
The Swiss media reacted cautiously to the Swiss Spiegel split. For the NZZ and the Tages-Anzeiger, the issue was a disappointment. It was aimed more at German than Swiss readers. The selection of articles may be exciting for Germans, "but they have already been written several times by local papers", according to the Tages-Anzeiger. For the Bund, it is clear that the supplement is no substitute for Facts. The most clichéd of all clichés had to be used for the cover picture. All in all, the Extra is amusing for the Swiss, but has no great insightful value, according to the Bund. In general, the individual papers agree that Der Spiegel still lacks its own Swiss editorial team for a serious Swiss edition.
