A new form of discussion between Germans and Swiss will take place weekly from August 15 in the Thurgauer Zeitung and Südkurier (Constance): Each Saturday, the two newspapers will publish the same column by a member of one editorial team or the other on the topic of Switzerland/Germany; a week later, a journalist from the other editorial team will then respond. The authors of the two editorial teams refer to each other in their columns. Readers can get involved in this journalistic conversation across borders via Thurgauerzeitung.ch directly.
Uli Fricker, editor of the Südkurier, opens the dialog this Saturday. A week later, Ursula Fraefel, editor-in-chief of the Thurgauer Zeitung, will answer him. In addition to the editor-in-chief, TZ editors Christoph Widmer, Marc Haltiner, Thomas Wunderlin and Martina Eggenberger as well as publisher Peter Hartmeier will also be taking part in this German-Swiss dialog. The range of topics is deliberately broad: Everyday life in the Lake Constance region between Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, eastern Switzerland and the greater Zurich area will be covered as well as fundamental political, economic and social issues.
With a circulation of 150,000 copies, the Südkurier is the leading newspaper in the Lake Constance and Upper Black Forest region and is published by Südkurier GmbH in Constance - a subsidiary of the Holtzbrinck media company. With a circulation of 40,000 copies, the Thurgauer Zeitung is the leading newspaper in the canton of Thurgau and the oldest newspaper in Switzerland after the Neue Zürcher Zeitung. It is published by Medienhaus Huber & Co. AG, a subsidiary of the Tamedia media company
