"Cooperation with the Zürcher Landzeitung" was published for the first time.
On October 3, a new newspaper, so to speak, appeared on Lake Zurich and in the Zurich Oberland and Unterland. Under the title Zürcher Landzeitung, the three papers Zürichsee Zeitung, Zürcher Oberländer and Zürcher Unterländer took the decades-old idea of a united rural newspaper seriously. A joint editorial team of ten produces daily content for the Zurich, national, foreign, business and culture sections as well as for the last page. The merger is linked to the Tages-Anzeiger's regional offensive, which starts on November 6. The editorial office is located in Stäfa, at the headquarters of the Zürichsee Zeitung.
By merging the national departments of the three newspapers into a single editorial team, the creators are hoping for more power in the regional departments. This is not possible without considerable coordination effort. For this reason, separate teams of journalists have been created in the home editorial offices to deal specifically with the regionalization of topics. The key figure seems to be the editor on duty in the main editorial office. He holds three conferences a day with the home editorial offices and should not lose sight of the overview of national and regional topics.
In the Zürcher Landzeitung, the three newspapers, namely the editors-in-chief, are also relinquishing certain powers. "We are taking the freedom to shape the newspaper independently in day-to-day business," says Michael Schönenberger, the new head of the editorial team.
