On Tuesday it was that time again, the undertakers, financed with several million francs by the publishers, communicated the latest half-year figures and the declining readership of their print media to the astonished journalists and advertisers. The only thing missing was the note: "Dear advertisers, please don't invest any more rcs data malaysia advertising money in our printed newspapers, many are already in intensive care and with the current developments we will probably have to prepare the first coffin soon."
It is a special kind of absurdity that the publishers shoot themselves in the foot every six months and finance the executors and their ammunition with several million from the income and reserves of their dead newspapers - because other sources of income are still a long way off. Journalists like Daniel Binswanger see the newspapers that represent right-wing liberal ideology as already on their way to the grave.
For him, of course, the devil's "Weltwoche" and the "Basler Zeitung" and the two editors-in-chief Roger Köppel and Markus Somm and their editorial colleagues are the biggest destroyers of readership for their titles, which he said in a "club discussion round" on state TV. He would have been better off not saying that, because the lead pen of the "Magazin" is himself responsible for a much greater decline in readership with his "left-wing voice" than his hate figures Köppel and Somm with their titles.
