The New Newspaper for the Weekend (NZ) is a weekly newspaper from Gerhardt Verlag that appears in eight local editions (in the districts of Leer , Emsland , Cloppenburg , Ammerland and the city of Oldenburg ). Within these regions a free edition is delivered to all accessible households, whereby the newspaper reaches 800,000 people according to its own information.
The edition is 387,733 copies. The NZ is financed through advertisements and inserts. According to its own statements, it is a "modern weekly newspaper that makes the newspaper tangible" and sees itself as a "platform for the citizens of the region and for the citizens of the region". The idea behind this is that every citizen can write articles about local events and then publish them on the NZ internet platform (see information box on the right) . Selected works will then find their way into an issue.
history
According to Gerhard Verlag, the idea of founding the NZ developed into a finished concept in the summer of 2009, whereupon the first edition was delivered "a few weeks later". Initially, the offer was limited to the district of Leer and the surrounding area. However, the northern Emsland followed in 2010 and the district of Cloppenburg in spring. In addition, at the beginning of 2011 there were expenses for Meppen / Lingen (Ems) , the district of Ammerland and the independent city of Oldenburg.
According to its own information, the Neue Zeitung currently has 50 permanent employees and over 1,400 so-called “ citizen reporters ” who help . Due to the two-year existence of the NZ, the motto We want to know: Why do you read the NEUE ZEITUNG? the readership is requested to reply to the editorial team by October 31, 2011. As an incentive, there was a competition in cooperation with the book trade chain Bookmark .
