L'Hebdo (“Das Wochenblatt”) was a French-language weekly Swiss news magazine published in Lausanne from 1981 to 2017 .
L'Hebdo was founded by the journalist Jacques Pilet as the sister paper of the German Language Week and published by the Swiss publishing house Ringier Axel Springer Media . The content was divided into the areas Suisse (Switzerland), monde (world), société (society), économie (economy) and culture (culture).
While the week was retired a year later, L'Hebdo was initially successful. It was emphatically EU-friendly, economically critical, politically more left-wing and above all was able to set new topics again and again. Towards the end, however, there were signs of wear and tear; Advertising income and subscriptions plummeted. With its EU-friendliness, the magazine also increasingly stood in contrast to the increasing EU skepticism in French-speaking Switzerland.
In 2016, the magazine achieved a circulation of 33,706 (previous year 36,935) sold or 34,309 (previous year 39,766) copies and a reach of 156,000 (previous year 172,000) readers (WEMF MACH Basic 2015-II). This made it the most widely read magazine in French-speaking Switzerland.
On January 23, 2017, Ringier announced that the magazine would be discontinued; the last issue appeared on February 3, 2017, exceptionally on a Friday. The reason for the setting are "constantly falling advertising and sales revenues with simultaneously poor economic prospects". Funds that are freed up are to be relocated to the daily Le Temps and from February 18, 2017, a supplement called “T” is to be published on Saturdays, which will comprehensively expand the weekend offerings for readers and advertisers.
