history

The newspaper was founded on June 20, 1866 as a bi-weekly Bülacher Volksfreund and appeared in Heinrich Hager's print shop in Bülach. From mid-June 1870 to mid-June 1872 the newspaper was called "Bülach-Regensberger Volksfreund". From June 15, 1872, after the district capital was moved from Regensberg to Dielsdorf and the district was renamed, it appeared for the first time under the name "Bülach-Dielsdorfer Volksfreund" - a title that lasted until June 1957.

After the founder's death, Heinrich Graf bought the printing house in 1882 with the right to publish. After his death in 1910, his son Karl, only 23 years old, took over the company. Under the name Bülach-Dielsdorfer Volksfreund , the paper was first published two and then three times a week before it was given its final name in 1957 and became a daily newspaper under the direction of Karl's two sons, Hans Ulrich and Heini. In 2001 Heini Graf's two sons, Karlheinz (publishing house) and Dieter (company), took over the company.

The core area of ​​the New Bülacher Tagblatt was the Bülach district . Important events in the Dielsdorf district should also be recorded . In 2013 the circulation of the newspaper was only 2,622 copies sold or 2,731 copies distributed (in 2005, as an independent newspaper, 4,513 or 4,621 copies). Up until October 2006, a large circulation of 32,224 copies was printed on Wednesdays and distributed to all households in the Bülach area. After that, the large edition was also distributed in the Bülach area with the title Zürcher Unterländer .

In 1995 an arson attack, which was probably politically motivated, was carried out on the Neue Bülacher Tagblatt .

The best-known and most influential publisher and editor-in-chief of the Graf family was Hans Ulrich Graf , a member first of the FDP , then the Republican Movement and finally the SVP . He was the newspaper's publisher and editor-in-chief for over 50 years, from 1950 to 2001. From 1971 to 1991 he was a member of the National Council . In 1986 he was a co-founder of the Auns . He died in 2010.

The last editor-in-chief of the independent Neue Bülacher Tagblatt was Dagmar Appelt.

The Graf family continues to run the customer printing and stationery business of the print shop bought in 1882 in the parent company under the name Copy44.

Takeover by the Zürcher Unterländer

The end of October 2006, the owner of the saw new Bülacher Tagblatt forced as a conservative force newspaper said as liberal classified Zurich Unterländer cede to which the New Bülacher Tagblatt decades had been in fierce competition and at that time by a minority share of 40% ( in addition to Publigroupe as a silent majority shareholder with 60%) was controlled by the NZZ. It was important to them that the peculiarities and pointed comments valued by the readership were retained with their own editorial team.

The Zürcher Unterländer , which in turn obtained the supraregional pages from the Zürichsee-Zeitung , continued the Neue Bülacher Tagblatt as a header, whereby this also obtained the regional pages from the Zürcher Unterländer and differed only on the front and the local pages.

Newspaper title of the Zürcher Unterländers since November 4, 2013

As part of an exchange of shares between the Neuer Zürcher Zeitung and the Tages-Anzeiger , the Zürcher Unterländer came into possession of the Tages-Anzeiger in April 2010 . The local edition of the Neue Bülacher Tagblatt was then discontinued at the end of 2010, but the Zürcher Unterländer appeared in the Bülach area under the title Neues Bülacher Tagblatt . On November 4, 2013 this was also dropped; since then the name only exists in the subtitle.
