The Nidwalden online newspaper Onlinequer plans to publish a maximum 20-page electronic newspaper with information from Nidwalden every two weeks in future. The first issue in the new form was published as a PDF on Tuesday. Until now, Onlinequer.ch has managed with very limited resources and a minimal team. Now the newspaper is produced by a four-strong editorial team and other media professionals. During the project phase, the expanded online newspaper will receive financial support from external sponsors, among others, according to the press release. The aim is to have sold so many subscriptions in a few months that the work can be self-financed. An annual subscription costs 75 francs. The reason for the new newspaper is a media policy one: for the makers of Onlinequer, a second newspaper voice alongside the Neue Nidwaldner Zeitung is important, according to the press release. They want to offer an alternative in terms of information, with independent, well-researched and independent articles.
