Norbert Neininger is "Publisher of the Year"
Norbert Neininger, editor-in-chief and publisher of the *Schaffhauser Nachrichten*, has been named Swiss Publisher of the Year by a jury of media industry professionals. This is the eighth time the award, presented by the trade journal *Schweizer Journalist*, has been given.
Despite the structural changes in the industry and the constant pressure from large publishing houses, 63-year-old Neininger has managed to secure the independence of Schaffhauser Nachrichten and his publishing house over the years, Schweizer Journalist editor-in-chief Markus Wiegand was quoted as saying in a press release on Thursday.
In addition, as a journalist and publisher, Neininger stands for the journalistic standards of his products and repeatedly shapes the debate on the future of the media himself. "On the issue of paid content, he recognized earlier than others that users must also make a contribution to financing."
Every year, the "Publisher of the Year" award is presented to personalities who have secured the future of their companies. Last year, Christoph Bauer (AZ Medien) won the title (Werbewoche.ch reported). (SDA)
