Tagblatt Der Stadt Zürich AG

What Tagblatt Der Stadt Zürich AG does

Tagblatt Der Stadt Zürich AG is a privately held regional newspaper publisher headquartered in Zürich, Switzerland, operating under the brand "Tagblatt Zürich" and publishing the website tagblattzuerich.ch. The company produces hyperlocal news coverage of the city of Zürich, including neighborhood-level reporting (e.g., Seebach, Oerlikon, Witikon), city politics, local sports (FCZ, GC), cultural events, dining (Gastro), science/knowledge content (Wissen, including a Tierleben wildlife column tied to Zoo Zürich), travel (Reiselust), and reader-submitted opinion columns (Ansicht). Its audience consists of German-speaking Zürich residents seeking city-specific news, civic information, and community engagement. The company operates within the Swiss Regio Media network of regional Swiss newspapers, which functions as the parent operator of the digital platform and the publisher of media-data tariff documentation.

The company's product portfolio centers on a responsive TYPO3-based news website (tagblattzuerich.ch) with named editorial sections (Aktuell, Ansicht, Kultur, Gastro, Wissen, Reiselust, Angebot), supplemented by a PurpleManager-hosted ePaper digital edition, the Leserreporter citizen-journalism portal, and the Tagblatt TV video property distributed via YouTube. The technology stack is conventional regional-news infrastructure — no proprietary platform architecture, no mobile applications, no public API or SDK, and no disclosed AI/ML capabilities. Web traffic is measured via Google Analytics. The reader-reporter program is a notable community feature, allowing residents to contribute photos, videos, and story tips to the editorial team for potential publication.

Tagblatt Der Stadt Zürich AG monetizes through two primary streams: recurring print and digital subscriptions (including ePaper access) and local advertising sold via the 2026 Mediendaten tariff document. Distribution spans a regional print edition, the digital website, the ePaper kiosk platform, and YouTube. The company is small (approximately 5 employees), privately held, domiciled in Switzerland, and operationally active as of July 2026, with no disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, leadership changes, or institutional investors in the source material.
