ONZ Obwalden und Nidwalden Zeitung: Three million francs share capital
Obwalden and Nidwalden will have a new newspaper starting April 23. In just a few weeks, nearly 400 shareholders have subscribed to three million francs in share capital. Francesco Welti is the editor-in-chief of the ONZ Obwalden and Nidwalden Zeitung.
ONZ Obwalden und Nidwalden Zeitung is broadly supported. The local initiators subscribed the share capital of three million francs in record time. More than 390 shareholders from both cantons and all sections of the population support the new newspaper. It has already met with great acceptance among the population, local businesses and associations.
The Board of Directors elected journalist Francesco Welti as Editor-in-Chief of ONZ Obwalden und Nidwalden Zeitung. He was editor-in-chief of the German-language Ticino newspaper, editor of the SDA and correspondent for various Swiss-German newspapers and magazines in Ticino.
After Easter, ONZ Obwalden und Nidwalden Zeitung will start operations with 15 full-time positions in the editorial and publishing offices at micro Park in Alpnach. Additional editors, authors and correspondents are being sought for the new newspaper. The website with all its content will be officially launched on April 22. The following day, all households in both cantons will receive the first official edition of the new newspaper. The ONZ Obwalden and Nidwalden newspaper will be published on paper on Tuesdays and Fridays. All content is also available free of charge on the Internet at any time. The initiators of ONZ are relying on the concept of the micro-newspaper, which has already been successfully implemented in the Bernese Oberland with the Jungfrau Zeitung. This makes ONZ the second micro-newspaper in Switzerland alongside the Jungfrau Zeitung.
Today, the Neue Obwaldner Zeitung and the Neue Nidwaldner Zeitung, both of which are the head papers of the Neue Luzerner Zeitung, are published in the ONZ area.
