Zurich student newspaper ZS relaunched

Hochschulplatz Zürich has a new newspaper: the ZS - Zürcher Studierendenzeitung will be delivered to the homes of all university and ETH students this Monday and published at the universities. It is the result of a merger of iQ - Quarterly Info for Uni and ETH and Zürcher Student/in. With a circulation of 36,000 copies, it will be published three times a semester on a monthly basis. According to a press release, with the new publication the publisher Medienverein wants to concentrate its activities on a newspaper with a new freshness, which at the same time carries on the traditional name ZS. The tabloid format newspaper will have at least 32 pages. In terms of content, the editorial team, which is made up entirely of students, aims to present its readers with a mixture of current news, a focus topic and light subjects such as columns, style sections and reviews. Student topics from both universities will be central to the reporting. The layout was designed by graphic designers Kerstin Landis and Christoph Senn as part of a diploma thesis at the Zurich University of the Arts.
A website will soon be launched at Medienverein.ch, which will provide students with news between the publication dates of the print edition. The Medienverein is a non-profit organization and covers most of its expenses with advertising revenue. The Media Association will celebrate the launch of the ZS - Zürcher Studierendenzeitung on Wednesday, September 26 from 5 p.m. with a party in the atrium of the main building of the University of Zurich.
