New Glarus free newspapers launched

 
The canton of Glarus has had two new free newspapers since Friday. As Werbewoche reported at the beginning of March (see ), the new free weekly newspapers "GlarusMitte-Anzeiger" and "GlarusSüd-Anzeiger" have been in circulation since April 25, 2008. Together with the "GlarusNord-Anzeiger", which has been published since the beginning of 2007, this covers the entire cantonal area. 20,000 copies of the three newspapers are distributed to all Glarus households. This makes the canton the "best-covered area in the world in terms of newspapers", according to the publishing company Südostschweiz Presse und Print, quoting Andrea Masüger, Delegate of the Board of Directors. A three-person editorial team and freelance journalists provide the content. The three newspapers want to actively accompany the municipal reform process in the canton and focus on local events, according to a press release from Südostschweiz Publicitas.
