history

St. Galler Tagblatt 1939

The St. Galler Tagblatt has been published since 1839. In the first two years the title was Tagblatt der Stadt St. Gallen and the Cantons St. Gallen and Appenzell and from 1841 to 1909 Tagblatt der Stadt St. Gallen and the Cantons St. Gallen, Appenzell and Thurgau . Initially it was a small-format advertisement and news paper and over time it developed into a free-thinking opinion paper, but remained independent of parties. From 1885 to 1969 it appeared twice a day, as morning and evening papers. In the 1960s and 70s, the St. Galler Tagblatt took over a number of formerly independent newspapers and became the daily newspaper with the highest circulation in Eastern Switzerland.

In 1991, through its subsidiary FPH Freie Presse Holding AG, the NZZ took over 93% of Zollikofer AG, the publisher of the St. Galler Tagblatt, with 7% remaining with various shareholders. As a regional rival newspaper, Die Ostschweiz also appeared in St. Gallen for over a century. At the end of 1997, Die Ostschweiz ceased its publication and was transferred to the St. Galler Tagblatt with the remaining 20,000 subscribers . At the end of 1998, Zollikofer AG was renamed St. Galler Tagblatt AG and in 2015 Tagblatt Medien Holding AG.

In 1860 the circulation was around 4,000 copies, in 1989 around 70,000 and in 2009 99,000 (with seven regional editions).

From 1989 to 1995 the St. Galler Tagblatt was the sponsor of the St. Gallen School of Journalism . Since 1998 the Tagblatt has been supplying the cover section for the Volksfreund from Flawil and the Wiler Zeitung for the Flawil book printing company. In 2014 the NZZ media group took over the publishing rights of the Wiler Zeitung .

Since March 2013, Eastern Switzerland has appeared on Sunday as the seventh print edition of the St. Galler Tagblatt . From November 2017 to June 2019 it was only published digitally, after which it was discontinued together with Central Switzerland on the Sunday after the last edition on June 30, 2019.

In spring 2016, Pascal Hollenstein, previously deputy editor-in-chief of NZZ am Sonntag , took over responsibility for the national sections of the St. Galler Tagblatt as head of journalism for NZZ regional media . The editor-in-chief Philipp Landmark , who has been in office since 2009, resigned as part of this reorganization, but is still available to the newspaper for various journalistic projects. The new editor in chief from August 2016 Stefan Schmid was appointed, previously head of the editorial staff of the newspaper domestic interconnection az Northwestern Switzerland of AZ Medien . He is only responsible for the regional areas.

In 2018, the NZZ media group brought the St. Galler Tagblatt together with the Luzerner Zeitung to the CH Media joint venture founded with AZ Medien , which is owned equally by both groups. In preparation for this, the holding companies of the two newspapers, Tagblatt Medien Holding AG and LZ Medien Holding AG, were merged to form CH Regionalmedien AG. The joint venture includes the regional newspapers and the radio and TV stations of both companies. Operations started on October 1, 2018. Since 2019, the Saturday editions have been published as Switzerland on the weekend with an additional 3rd section on the beautiful sides of life with more reports and backgrounds as well as opinions and comments from editors and guest authors.
