Tell , later Tell: Magazine without borders ( ISSN 1421-7090 ), was a major non-conformist Swiss magazine that existed from 1979 to 1985. It emerged from the merger of focus: the time-critical magazine and the readers' newspaper ( ISSN 1421-7104 ).
Full-time members of the editorial team were Willy Bär, Jean-Michel Berthoud, Ruedi Christen, Mathias Klemm, Heidi Kloeber, Cécile Matzinger, Gaby Schmuklerski and Heinzpeter Studer.
Relation to Wilhelm Tell
The editorial staff of the magazine, which is close to the Neue Linke , justified the choice of the title as follows:
“In the last 10 years there has been […] a renaissance of the rebellious, progressive Tell image. At the demonstrations of the New Left and at May Day events, his head appeared next to Ché Guevara , Mao and Ho Chi Minh - the symbolic figures of the new liberation movements of the Third World. And after a plane attack in Kloten, the Palestinians reminded the Swiss people of their terrorist historical myth in a communiqué.
The latest example of the new Tell picture is a book by Rolf Hochhut about Maurice Bavaud , the Hitler assassin from Neuchâtel, whom he dubbed “Tell 38”. Interesting detail from Hochhut's research: 14 days after the execution of the death sentence against the “Swiss sniper,” as he called him, the Schiller drama “ Wilhelm Tell ” was banned for all of Germany.
We chose the name ‹tell› because we will try to counter the tendency to bring the press into line, against the efforts to reduce press freedom, to create a real alternative to the large commercial publishers. "
