New newspaper for the Glarus lowlands
Starting January 12, the GlarusNord-Anzeiger, a new free newspaper for the Glarus Unterland region, will begin publication. It is published by Südostschweiz Presse.
The GlarusNord-Anzeiger, a new free newspaper for the Glarus lowlands, will be published from January 12. It is published by Südostschweiz Presse. The GlarusNord-Anzeiger will be published every Friday as a tabloid newspaper and will be distributed to all households in the Glarus lowlands (Bilten, Niederurnen, Oberurnen, Filzbach, Obstalden, Mühlehorn, Mollis, Näfels), mostly by early delivery. This means that the free newspaper reaches precisely those eight municipalities that will form a single municipality from 2011 as a result of the Glarus municipal merger. The circulation is 7000 copies.
The Glarus-Nord-Anzeiger is following in the footsteps of the Linth-Land-Anzeiger, which was discontinued by the publisher Küng Druck at the end of 2007. With the new successor product, Südostschweiz Presse aims to secure the traditional opportunity for communities to publish official announcements and offer regional businesses and associations an attractive advertising platform thanks to unrivaled low advertising rates. Südostschweiz Publicitas in Glarus is responsible for advertising sales.
Südostschweiz Presse has created a 50% editorial office for the editorial section of the 16-page weekly newspaper and commissioned freelance journalists. The GlarusNord-Anzeiger will differ from its predecessor, not least thanks to its own journalistic contributions. For example, regular portraits, columns, personalized surveys and a new front-page story every week will be published, according to a press release.
