Aarauer Nachrichten

Aarauer Nachrichten is a free weekly regional newspaper published in Aarau, Switzerland. It appears once a week, on Fridays, and covers the city and region of Aarau as well as the neighbouring areas of Lenzburg and Zofingen. Its editorial scope is local and community-oriented: municipal politics and events, sports, culture, lifestyle, local personalities, photo galleries and classified advertising. The paper is distributed free of charge and is part of a network of regional weekly titles. According to WEMF MACH Basic 2020-I data cited by Wikipedia, the Aarauer Nachrichten had a distributed circulation of 46,925 copies and a reach of 70,000 readers, including its head papers the Lenzburger Nachrichten and the Zofinger Nachrichten. The editor-in-chief is Rinaldo Feusi and the managing director is Urs Billerbeck. The title is the fifth-largest newspaper of the publisher Swiss Regiomedia AG, based in Baar in the canton of Zug, which issues 23 further weekly newspapers across German-speaking Switzerland, among them the Winterthurer Zeitung as the largest of the group, the St. Galler Nachrichten, the Wiler Nachrichten and the Luzerner Rundschau. The publisher, then Zehnder Regiomedia AG of Wil in the canton of St. Gallen, was taken over together with the Zuger Woche AG — also owned by the Zehnder family and publisher of the Zuger Woche — in August 2017 with retroactive effect from 1 January 2017 by BaZ Holding AG, today known as Zeitungshaus AG. At that time BaZ Holding also owned Basler Zeitung Medien with the Basler Zeitung, until that business was itself taken over by Tamedia. The Aarauer Nachrichten maintains a digital presence at aarauer-nachrichten.ch, offering an ePaper edition, advertising placement, editorial contact details and a publisher's column alongside its reporting. Its coverage is organised by locality — Stadt Aarau, Stadt Zofingen and Bezirk Lenzburg — with additional sections for events, lifestyle and community. As a free advertiser-supported weekly, it occupies the classic Swiss regional free-sheet niche: high local penetration, strong classified and local advertising, and close coverage of clubs, associations and municipal life.

The Aarauer Nachrichten is a regional free weekly newspaper based in Aarau, Switzerland. It appears once a week, on Fridays, and is distributed in the city and region of Aarau as well as in Lenzburg and Zofingen. Its editorial model is that of a classic Swiss free advertiser newspaper: it is delivered free of charge, financed primarily by local advertising and classifieds, and focuses on municipal affairs, local sports, culture, associations and community life rather than national or international news. The title operates alongside two head papers, the Lenzburger Nachrichten and the Zofinger Nachrichten, which extend its regional footprint. According to WEMF MACH Basic 2020-I figures cited by Wikipedia, the Aarauer Nachrichten had a distributed circulation of 46,925 copies and a reach of 70,000 readers including these head papers. The editor-in-chief is Rinaldo Feusi and the managing director is Urs Billerbeck. The newspaper belongs to the publisher Swiss Regiomedia AG, based in Baar in the canton of Zug. Within that group it is the fifth-largest title; the publisher issues 23 further weekly newspapers across German-speaking Switzerland, including the Winterthurer Zeitung as the largest of the group, the St. Galler Nachrichten, the Wiler Nachrichten and the Luzerner Rundschau. Ownership of the publisher changed in 2017. The company, then named Zehnder Regiomedia AG and based in Wil in the canton of St. Gallen, was acquired together with Zuger Woche AG — also owned by the Zehnder family and publisher of the Zuger Woche — by BaZ Holding AG. The takeover was agreed in August 2017 and applied retroactively from 1 January 2017. BaZ Holding AG, today known as Zeitungshaus AG, at that time also owned Basler Zeitung Medien with the Basler Zeitung, until that business was itself taken over by Tamedia. In the present day the Aarauer Nachrichten maintains a digital presence at aarauer-nachrichten.ch, offering an ePaper edition, advertising booking, editorial contacts and a publisher's column alongside its reporting. Its online content is organised by locality — Stadt Aarau, Stadt Zofingen and Bezirk Lenzburg — with additional sections for events, lifestyle and community, and it publishes photo galleries and reader-oriented community material typical of a local weekly.
