Rolf-Peter Zehnder launches Uster Rundschau

 Publisher Rolf-Peter Zehnder is launching a new weekly newspaper, the Uster Rundschau, in the Uster and Wetzikon area from September. The free newspaper will have a circulation of 44,484 copies, according to a press release issued on Wednesday. According to SDA, a total of eight new jobs will be created for this purpose. Three people will be responsible for the editorial section and five for advertising sales. According to the media data, distribution will be handled by Swiss Post. The Uster Rundschau is printed at Zehnder Verlag's printing center in Wil/Rickenbach and is the publishing house's 22nd weekly newspaper. As Rolf-Peter Zehnder writes in a communiqué, the launch of Uster Rundschau is a reaction to Tamedia's decision to discontinue the weekly newspaper Uster Nachrichten in June (see
). The latter newspaper was founded 26 years ago by Zehnder himself, but changed hands several times over the years and eventually became part of Tamedia. Rolf-Peter Zehnder is the publisher of Zuger Woche, Züri Rundschau and Züri Nachrichten. He handed over the remaining titles of the publishing house to his son Andreas a year and a half ago (see
