Wigdorovits: Competition from News meets 20 Minuten
Sacha Wigdorovits, editor-in-chief of .ch, believes there is only room for two free newspapers in German-speaking Switzerland. He is convinced that only .ch and 20 Minuten can survive.
With regard to the new round in the battle of the free papers, media experts agree that sooner or later one newspaper will fall victim to the fierce competition. Sacha Wigdorovits, publisher of .ch, is of the opinion that there is only room for two free newspapers in German-speaking Switzerland. He is convinced that only .ch and 20 Minuten can survive. These are the two best products. According to SDA, he therefore assumes that the competition from News, which has been published since Wednesday, will primarily affect 20 Minuten. This is due to the fact that they have the same distribution channels in the centers of public transport. .ch, on the other hand, is also displayed in front of private house entrances.
