Apparently, Tamedia's top management is planning drastic steps in the Bernese newspaper market: according to the Sonntag newspaper, there are many indications that the Zurich publishing house wants to drop the 160-year-old traditional Bernese newspaper Der Bund. The editorial offices of Berner Zeitung and Bund were only recently merged into one location.
As it cannot be assumed that Der Bund will be in the black this year and the shell model originally devised by CEO Martin Kall is off the table, Tamedia is now working on a one-newspaper concept for Bern, writes the Sonntagsblatt.
Tamedia is keeping a low profile: a project group is analyzing journalistic concepts as well as cost and revenue structures. An open and constructive discussion can only take place in a confidential setting, the company told Sonntag. Information on the interim status of the analyses will be provided in the coming months.
