Tamedia has announced the loss of around 200 full-time jobs in its printing plants. In addition, 90 jobs will be affected in the editorial offices, as the media company's parent company, the TX Group, announced on Tuesday night
The reduction is subject to a consultation process, the Group announced. Social plans will be applied. This also includes the possibility of early retirement.
Tamedia is no longer able to operate three printing plants profitably. Printing plants are therefore to be successively shut down: The printing center in Bussigny VD is expected to close at the end of March 2025. The printing plant in Zurich will close at the end of 2026, meaning that printing will be concentrated at the center in Bern.
The media company also wants to focus on four brands for its digital offering: "Tages-Anzeiger", "Berner Zeitung", "Basler Zeitung" and, in French-speaking Switzerland, "24 Heures". The portfolio of printed newspapers will continue to exist. The TX Group held out the prospect of a more detailed announcement from Tamedia.
