history

The history of Southeast Switzerland , founded in 1997, began long before that with the creation of its predecessor newspapers.

Glarus News

In 1884, the later democratic national and state councilor David Legler founded this daily newspaper as an organ of the opposition. The newspaper Der Freie Glarner , published since 1875, bought the Glarner Nachrichten and in 1890 merged the two under the latter name. In the first three decades of the 20th century it became the largest newspaper in the canton. After the Second World War, she turned to a liberal course. In 1997, Gasser AG Chur took over Tschudi Druck und Verlag AG, and the Glarner Nachrichten became the regional Glarus edition of Southeastern Switzerland .

Guest countries

The Gasterländer was founded for the first time in Uznach in 1885 , but only lasted until 1894. Also in 1885, as a forerunner of the Gasterländer, a sheet appeared under the name Gasterländer Anzeiger , also in Uznach. In 1990, under the name Seepresse , the paper tried to escape and expand without success. In 1992, the editor of the Glarner Nachrichten , Tschudi Druck und Verlag AG, took over the Gasterländer and merged it in 1993 with the March-Anzeiger ( Lachen ) acquired at the same time to form the Linth-Presse-Zeitung . In 1997, Gasser AG Chur took over Tschudi Druck und Verlag AG and renamed the newspaper Gasterländer / Seepresse . In 2000 this became the regional edition Gaster and See of Southeast Switzerland .

In 2018, the Südostschweiz and the Zürichsee-Zeitung merged their regional editions Gaster and See and Zürichsee-Zeitung Obersee to form the Linth-Zeitung based in Rapperswil-Jona and Uznach . The editor-in-chief is Urs Zweifel. The first issue appeared on October 1, 2018.

Bündner Zeitung

The Bündner Zeitung was created in 1975 from the integration of the 107-year-old free-thinking Free Councilor into the opposition, democratic Neue Bündner Zeitung (founded in 1892).

Southeast Switzerland

In 1997, from the Grisons newspaper the Southeast Switzerland as Canton cross newspaper network with central editorial office in Chur forth, with the three regional editions Gaster and lake (to 2000 Gaster countries / Seepresse ), Glarus (until 2000 Glarner News ) and Graubünden and the three connected titles (each with its own Verlag) Bote der Urschweiz , Höfner Volksblatt and March-Anzeiger . The Southeast Switzerland established itself as a liberal newspaper of the political center, as opposed to also Somedia of more conservative issued Bündner Tagblatt .

In 1998 the newspapers Liechtensteiner Vaterland , Liechtensteiner Volksblatt , Sarganserländer and Werdenberger & Obertoggenburger joined the newspaper association, and in 2004 the Rheintalische Volkszeitung .

At the end of 2013, the four regional newspapers Bote der Urschweiz , Liechtensteiner Vaterland , Rheintalische Volkszeitung and Werdenberger & Obertoggenburger ended their partnership with Southeastern Switzerland and have since been cooperating with the Luzerner Zeitung (Bote der Urschweiz) and the St. Galler Tagblatt , both of which belong to the NZZ- Belong to media group . As a result, south-eastern Switzerland lost a circulation share of around 39,000 copies.

In autumn 2017 Somedia examined the possibility of a coat together with the Basler Zeitung , but abandoned the project at the beginning of 2018.

In January 2018 Somedia announced that it wanted to merge the editorial offices of Südostschweiz and Bündner Tagblatt . The plan was initially withdrawn in March 2018 after Magdalena Martullo-Blocher, representing the majority owner of the publishing rights, announced her opposition to the merger. The editorial offices should remain independent, but work more closely together from mid-April 2018. Shortly afterwards it was decided to merge into a central editorial office. On May 1, 2018, she edited the two newspapers for the first time, which only differ on the first three pages.

In 1996 Gasser Media AG (now Somedia Press AG) took over the publication of the bourgeois Bündner Tagblatt from Christoph Blocher , who continues to hold the publishing rights.

A new layout was introduced at the same time as the central editorial office. This uses the historical newspaper names Bündner Zeitung (regional edition Graubünden) and Glarner Nachrichten (regional edition Glarus) in the subtitle (above the main title) .
