Neue Zürcher Nachrichten

At a meeting of the Katholisch-Konservativen Volkspartei (Catholic-Conservative People's Party) in Lucerne, it was stated that a large increase in the share of votes in the Catholic cantons was no longer possible.In order to advance to Zürich, the small Catholic paper was to be expanded into a first-class daily newspaper including a business association.On the initiative of the printer Theodat Bucher and the editor-in-chief of Die Ostschweiz, Georg Baumberger, who moved to Zürich, the Neue Zürcher Nachrichten was created.[6][7] After the Vaterland had also courted some of these papers, talks were held from 1969 onwards in order to join forces and create a large Catholic newspaper with regional editions in the long term.From the end of 1899 to 1902, the writer Heinrich Federer was editor-in-chief, and in the 1920s and 1930s, Emil Buomberger, later a CSP city councillor, headed the editorial office.In addition to a trade section edited by the publishing house (Wirtschaftsbund), there were a number of weekly Sunday supplements: Katholische Kultur ("Catholic Culture"), Wissenschaft und Technik ("Science and Technology"), Literarische Warte, Die Welt der Frau ("Woman's World"), Die Scholle and Der Erzähler.
