  • Since 125 Years
    Corporate Presentation Tamedia We help you make sense of an increasingly complex world with a wide range of perspectives and by offering structure and choices to our customers – since 125 years. October 2018 The history of Tamedia The Tages-Anzeiger was founded in 1893 The first newspapers – from today’s perspective – published at the beginning of the 17th century. In 1893, Wilhelm Girardet, a publisher, sets up the Tages-Anzeiger together with editor Fritz Walz. On 2 March, the first issue is published, then widely distributed free of charge for one month. In 1902, due to its huge success, the company moves to its present location on Zurich Werdstrasse. The history of Tamedia Growth in the 20th century and stock market flotation The company continues to grow through takeovers and in-house developments. The printing facility in Zurich opens in 1984, the one in Lausanne in 1989, and Berne in 2005. On 2 October 2000, the company goes public with a new name, Tamedia AG. As of 2003, Tamedia progressively increases its involvement in the media brand 20 Minuten. The history of Tamedia Mergers and takeovers in the new millennium In 2007, Tamedia merges with Espace Media Groupe, Berne. In April 2010, Tamedia takes over Zürichsee-Zeitung and Zürcher Unterländer from the NZZ group. In 2011, Edipresse Suisse and Tamedia merge their businesses as previously announced in 2009. In 2014, Der Landbote joins the family of Tamedia’s newspapers, Basler Zeitung follows in 2018. The history of Tamedia Investments and reorganisation of the advertising market Sustained decline in print advertising with simultaneous growth of online advertising.

  • La Majorité Tout Juste Atteinte En Faveur Des Initiatives Sur L'eau
    20 minutes / Tamedia Communication d’entreprise Communiqué Projets agricoles: la majorité tout juste atteinte en faveur des initiatives sur l’eau potable et sur les pesticides Sept semaines avant la votation, l’initiative sur l’eau potable et celle sur l’interdiction des pesticides recueillent respectivement un soutien de 54 et de 53%. La première vague du sondage en vue des votations réalisé par 20 minutes et Tamedia révèle par ailleurs que la loi COVID-19 et la loi anti-terrorisme obtiennent l’une comme l’autre une nette majorité. Pour l’instant, 54% des personnes interrogées soutiennent la loi sur le CO2. Zurich, le 30 avril 2021 – 20 minutes et Tamedia viennent de réaliser sur leurs portails d’actualités la première vague du sondage, tous titres confondus, en prélude aux votations fédérales du 13 juin 2021. Les 26 et 27 avril, 18’271 personnes de toute la Suisse ont participé à ce sondage en ligne dont la marge d’erreur se situe à 1,2 point de pourcentage. Initiative sur l’eau potable: une majorité en sa faveur Selon la première vague du sondage, une majorité des personnes interrogées adhère à l’initiative sur l’eau potable. Ce projet recueillerait 54% de voix favorables si la votation avait lieu aujourd’hui, alors qu’il serait rejeté par 43% des votants. On relève une forte polarisation en fonction des partis: les votants de gauche sont en faveur du projet, les personnes qui soutiennent l’UDC, le PLR et le Centre y sont opposées. Comme on pouvait s’y attendre, le soutien le plus fort est enregistré auprès des Verts (89%).

  • Do Polls Affect Elections? Evidence from Swiss Referenda
    Do Polls Affect Elections? Evidence from Swiss Referenda Leonardo Bursztyn Davide Cantoni Patricia Funk Felix Schonenberger¨ Noam Yuchtman* May 2021 Abstract In recent years, the outcomes of several high-stakes votes have not been correctly predicted by public opinion polls. We propose that polls themselves may shape election outcomes by affect- ing voter turnout. We first present evidence that polls have a causal effect on voter turnout, with greater turnout in response to close polls. To identify this effect, we exploit the precise day-level timing of the release of poll results for federal referenda, and a dataset on daily mail- in voting for the canton of Geneva. The release of a closer poll causes turnout to sharply rise immediately after poll release, with cumulative turnout remaining significantly higher through election day. Turnout rates are no different in the days prior to the release of close polls, sug- gesting that the information contained in the polls was not anticipated, issue types were not perceived as different, and the political “supply side” was not differentially active. We gener- alize our findings by specifying a model of voter turnout depending on locally available infor- mation and on the existence and closeness of polls. We confirm the predictions of the model using municipality-level data from across Switzerland, exploiting the introduction of national polls in 1998. We then provide evidence that this turnout effect can shape election outcomes. We find that the effect of close polls is heterogeneous, with an asymmetric effect leading to a higher vote share for the underdog, and effects varying with newspaper coverage of polls.

Metro UK, The Manchester edition is published as a franchise by the owned by Associated Newspapers (The Daily Mail), is Guardian Media Group and is the result of a merger (after also by far the biggest free daily published in one country. legal battles over the Metro name) of GMG’s Manchester Metro (the daily version of their weekly free paper) and News North-West, the Associated Newspapers’ free daily. The Yorkshire edition is published with Regional Independent Media (Johnston Press). In London Metro competes for advertising with two afternoon free dailies: London Lite (also by Associated Newspapers) and thelondonpaper (by Rupert Murdoch’s News International).

  • En Situation Précaire: Poverty, Stigma, and Mental Health in Geneva, Switzerland
    EN SITUATION PRÉCAIRE: POVERTY, STIGMA, AND MENTAL HEALTH IN GENEVA, SWITZERLAND By RYAN P. THEIS A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2010 1 © 2010 Ryan P. Theis 2 To my family and friends for their love and support, to Dorin, Nadim, and Tania for their trust and friendship, and to all in Geneva who find themselves in a “precarious” situation 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would first like to thank Allan Burns for his guidance as my advisor, professor, and committee chair over many years of graduate school, and as my mentor in applied anthropology. Dr. Burns and my committee, Willie Baber, William Chen, and Elizabeth Guillette, have been a valuable influence for me, and it was through their encouragement that I sought to pursue a niche between anthropology and public health, to travel and learn a foreign language, and to be resilient to the challenges of academia. There are many who, over the years, have helped me to develop as a professional and as a person, and without whom this work would not have been possible. I am grateful to Nabih Asal for his leadership as my professor and mentor in epidemiology, and Elizabeth Shenkman for her guidance in health policy and program evaluation. With much admiration, I thank Alice Allen, Charlie Gass, and Hal Clarendon for showing me what I am capable of, and capable of becoming, physically, mentally, and spiritually. I owe many thanks to my colleagues in Switzerland – Hans Wolff, Patricia Hudelson, Antoine Stähli, Nicolas Senni, and all those in the clinics and social services of Geneva who helped me to realize my doctoral work.
