The Burgdorfer Tagblatt was a Swiss daily newspaper founded in 1831 under the title Berner Volksfreund and discontinued as a paid newspaper at the end of 2004. It was especially important in its early days for the history of the Canton of Bern . It was the oldest newspaper in the Canton of Bern.

The Burgdorfer Tagblatt was founded in 1831 as the first liberal weekly newspaper in Switzerland by the brothers Johann Ludwig , Hans and Karl Schnell under the name Berner Volksfreund . In 1846, after a one-year break, the newspaper appeared as the Berner Volkszeitung , and from 1847 as the Emmentaler Bote . From 1911 the newspaper was published by the Burgdorfer Tagblatt AG as the Burgdorfer Tagblatt , initially with the subtitle “Organ der Freinnigen des Emmental and Oberaargau”. In the 1980s the newspaper reached its highest circulation with 3,500.

The newspaper ran into economic difficulties in the late 1980s. When a takeover by the Solothurner Zeitung threatened, the publisher of the Berner Zeitung , the AG for the Berner Tagblatt (now Espace Media Groupe , part of Tamedia ), took over operational management in 1990, took a 30% stake in the company in 1991 and gave one Deficit guarantee of 60%. She reduced the number of times the newspaper was published in 2000 to five more times, in 2001 to three times a week and, for economic reasons, got out of operational management in 2004.

The Burgdorfer Tagblatt AG then stopped the publication of the newspaper in its previous form at the end of 2004 and leased the title to the Lokalmedien Verlag AG. This merged the newspaper with the free newspaper Aemme Zytig , which from then on appeared in Burgdorf and Oberburg as Burgdorfer Tagblatt , in the rest of the area as Aemme-Zytig with a circulation of 31,300 copies. At the beginning of 2012, Burgdorfer Tagblatt and Aemme Zytig were merged with Grauholz Post to form My Zytig , with the previous titles remaining as subtitles. As of March 29, 2012, the name Burgdorfer Tagblatt was also dropped as a subtitle. Also My Zytig was set not viable and had 2014 their appearance.

In August 2012, the general assembly of Burgdorfer Tagblatt AG decided to liquidate the company and sold the Burgdorfer Tagblatt title to the Espace Media Groupe .
