Thurgauer Zeitung: Readers' Council elected
Readers of the Thurgauer Zeitung can now have a say in the development of their newspaper. A 12-member reader council will use their good ideas to inspire the content and design of both the print and online editions.
At the beginning of November, the Thurgauer Zeitung called for applications for the Readers' Council. Publisher Peter Hartmeier and his team have now selected five women and seven men from around 100 people. The average age is 41. Decisive factors for the selection were profession, education, age, gender, geographical origin, political position, hobbies, interests and leisure activities. The Readers' Council meets twice a year and the results of the meetings are reported on a regular basis, as the newspaper announced on Monday. The first meeting will take place on March 3.
