Internet newspapers Aare24.ch and Grenchen.net merge
The online newspapers Grenchen.net and Aare24.ch will be joining forces going forward. As of today, the two editorial teams are operating the new online newspaper for the Aargau-Solothurn region at the new address, Soaktuell.ch.
The merger of the two Internet newspapers creates a new news platform between Grenchen and Baden. Soaktuell.ch operates independently of major publishers and is financed by advertising, sponsorship and donations. In terms of content, the Internet newspaper reports on society, business, politics, misfortune and crime, as well as cultural events from the cantons of Aargau and Solothurn. Occasionally, national and international topics are also included, provided they are the talk of the day in the region.
Visitors who access the new Internet newspaper via the old addresses Aare24.ch and Grenchen.net will be automatically redirected. The switchover is to take place on Friday, according to a statement. This will allow the Internet newspaper Soaktuell.ch to start with over 75,000 visitors per month and aims to break the sound barrier of 100,000 visitors per month by the end of the year.
The editorial office of the Internet newspaper Soaktuell.ch is located in the center of the Aargau-Solothurn region at the PR agency Jaeggi Media. Editor-in-chief and operator of the new Internet newspaper is Roman Jäggi. Paul-Georg Meister, who has been in charge of Grenchen.net for almost twelve years, continues to report from the Solothurn-Grenchen region, but on the newly launched Internet newspaper.
