HandelsZeitung focuses on financial news

The HandelsZeitung is expanding its financial reporting and strengthening its editorial collaboration with The Wall Street Journal.

HandelsZeitung is expanding its financial reporting and intensifying its editorial cooperation with the Wall Street Journal. As part of a comprehensive relaunch, the business newspaper will be published from May 3, 2006 with a more compact structure, expanded content and a new design. In future, the main paper will be published as a 2-bundle newspaper instead of the previous four-bundle format. The first bundle will be dedicated to companies and management, the second bundle to the financial sector and the stock exchange, as announced by HandelsZeitung. Each issue will also contain articles from the Wall Street Journal in German, which will be visible through the co-branding of the two newspapers. The HandelsZeitung editorial team has been delivering Swiss business news in English to wsj.com every day since mid-October 2005.
Topic-specific special supplements will supplement the first two volumes of the new HandelsZeitung. The stock market section and the stock price pages will also be expanded in cooperation with the Frankfurter Vwd Group. Following the relaunch of the HandelsZeitung, the publishing group will be redesigning its online activities. In future, they will offer daily business and financial information on the web and for mobile applications.
Katja Hösli, owner of Mediadesign in Gais, is responsible for the new newspaper design. She has already designed the new layouts for the financial magazines Schweizer Bank, Schweizer Versicherung and Private Banking in recent months. The advertising campaign for the new HandelsZeitung is being handled by the Jung von Matt/Limmat agency.
