Tamedia profits thanks to newspapers
Swiss publisher Tamedia has seen its revenue rise in 2007, mainly thanks to its newspaper business. The newspaper division had a total revenue of CHf 348m (€440m), a rise of 16%.
Tamedia publishes paid papers Tages Anzeiger (Zurich) and Berner Zeitung. Free daily 20 Minuten (20 Minutes in the French speaking part of Switzerland) was responsible for an important part of the revenues.
In 2007 Tamedia launched free dailies News in Switzerland and L’Essentiel in Luxembourg. (Persoenlich)
