And yet another free paper: the News newspaper was published for the first time on Wednesday. It was available in the morning for commuters and early risers in Basel, Zurich, Bern and the Mittelland. Each region receives its own edition. The size and proportion of advertising is different in the four versions of News. In Zurich, the first issue is 48 pages long. Of these, around 20 pages are advertisements and around three pages are classified ads. The four-color newspaper is in tabloid format. On the front page, the main story deals with the drunken football fans that can be expected in the cities during Euro 08. The lower half of the front page is devoted to a foreign story with a photo of French President Nicolas Sarkozy and Algerian Foreign Minister Yazid Zerhouni.
The publishers are satisfied with the start and the distribution to around 1,500 newspaper boxes, according to a press release. The commuter newspaper was also distributed by 155 colporteurs on Wednesday morning.
The distribution worked very well overall, said Tamedia spokesman Christoph Zimmer on Wednesday at the request of SDA. In all four regions, the newspaper was delivered at the target time shortly after six o'clock. The distributors had received good feedback. The colporteurs will distribute the newspaper around the railroad stations for a total of ten days.
The initial circulation of the four regional editions of the new free newspaper is 334,000 copies. The publishers of Basler Zeitung, Berner Zeitung and Tages-Anzeiger are involved.
