Our consistently positive development in challenging times is something about which we can be proud and pleased and is even more important than the good results we report. Technological progress and globalisation are the drivers of the change our industry is undergoing. The consequences are a continuous growth of media offerings and a fierce competition for talent, attractive media content and the limited time that users can devote to media. This is accompanied by increasing cost pressure, which is a reality for the entire economy and is set to be exacerbated further by the strength of the Swiss franc. The structural change away from print and towards digital media has led to a fragmentation of the products we offer, namely, in the area of classified advertisement that has been of historical importance for our com- pany. They are virtually detached from the printed newspaper and today constitute independent fields of business on the Internet. Newspapers, for their part, are finding themselves faced by increasing demands in terms of journalistic content and by the need to develop attractive offerings for digital distribution channels. There is also a trend towards disintermediation in the reader, user and advertising markets. More and more contacts take place outside of the traditional media system, with the consequence that the structure of the public sphere as a marketplace for information, opinions and commercial offerings is changing. This analysis is not new. It is confirmed by current developments, but the dynamic of these changes is accelerating. At least, we are active in highly attractive markets in the area around Lake Geneva, in the agglomerations of Bern and Zurich as well as in Denmark and Luxembourg, which are fortunate circum- stances that make our work easier. The responses to the above challenges are not new either because in essence we are confronted by the phe- nomenon of industrialisation as other businesses have been before us. The continuous professionalisation of our trade and constantly rising productivity are prerequisites that we must meet if we are to remain efficient and retain our capacity to invest in the future. We have long been investing in the quality of our publications and the related commercial offerings. The success of these endeavours is best testified by our readers: In 2014, we published for the first time the biggest daily, Sunday and commuter newspapers both in German-speaking and French-speaking Switzerland with 20 Minuten, Tages-Anzeiger, SonntagsZeitung, Le Matin Dimanche, 20 minutes and 24 heures. All the newspapers and 2 magazines of our media group benefit from the resulting economies of scale. One further pleasing fact that shows our group’s journalistic strength is that we were able to appoint all the new editors-in-chief of Bilan, Bund, Landbote and Le Matin from within our own ranks in 2014. While investments in current business ensure its success, the creation of new activities and diversification of our portfolio would not at all be possible without making substantial investments. Thanks to the successful digitalisation of our traditional business and to major investments in our Digital business division, last year, we already reached the goal of one third of our net income being contributed by digital business, which we had announced in 2013. In 2014, we made considerable efforts to fulfil our next goal of having digital businesses account for half of our net income. Firstly, we launched a public takeover bid for PubliGroupe, with the focus of our interest being its holding in the directories business local.ch. We subsequently withdrew from the ensuing bidding competition with a capital gain of some 20 million francs, and made plans with Swisscom to merge local.ch, which it now fully owns, with our search.ch directories business. We will hold 31 per cent of the new company. This partnership is subject to the approval of the Federal Competition Commission. We are confident of a positive outcome because this is the only way to create a powerful Swiss alternative to the competition for listings which is operating at a global level, namely Google. Secondly, at the beginning of this year we announced the acquisition of the auction platform ricardo.ch, comprising autoricardo.ch, the general classified portal OLX and ricardoshops. ch. This transaction is also subject to the approval of the Federal Competition Commission. While we are entering a new field of business with ricardo.ch, the combination of car4you.ch and autoricardo.ch enables us to create an alternative to market leader autoscout24.ch, and the merger of the two loss-making general classified platforms tutti.ch and OLX should enable us to establish a sustainable offering. The expansion of the digital business is important to ensure the sustainability of our group in times of structural change. The reason why the digitalisation of our business is at the heart of our ambitions is not only because we view technological progress as the driver of the challenges we are having to face, but because we are attempting to put it at our service. It enables us to deliver the required efficiency and to create new qualities across all areas, not least in publishing, ranging from data journalism and new forms of narrative to personalised services and the transformation of business relationships with our subscribers and advertising customers. Alongside investments in new offerings, the training of our staff is of crucial importance. For this reason, we are investing in the promotion of talented individuals, information on which this year’s annual report aims to provide. Despite the many changes it is undergoing the value proposition of the activities bundled under the umbrella of Tamedia Group continues to be the provision of information, oversight and guidance on the basis of professional journalism, services and platforms for advertisements. Irrespective of the various challenges we are facing in different areas of our business, we have good reason to be pleased that they are all in very good shape. Our Management Board under the excellent leadership of Christoph Tonini and our staff all merit our recognition and thanks for this. Finally, I would like to extend a special thank you to our shareholders for their trust, commitment and confidence. They give our company a stable base, allowing us to perform dynamically in times of change.

Der von DATUM: 01.01.2020 MARLÈNE GERBER «Technology Exchange» abgeleitete neue Name soll den Wandel des Unternehmens vom Zeitungswesen hin zu einem digitalen Konzern abbilden. Auch die TX Group hatte mit den Auswirkungen der Corona-Pandemie zu kämpfen. In drei von vier Bereichen musste der Konzern im Jahr 2020 ein negatives erstes Halbjahresergebnis hinnehmen. Einen starken Umsatzrückgang verzeichnete der sonst rentable Bereich «20 Minuten» – dies nicht nur wegen eingebrochener Werbeeinnahmen, sondern auch wegen abnehmender Pendlerströme. Bestehende strukturelle Probleme im Zeitungssektor Tamedia – für den Bereich der Bezahlmedien blieb der bisherige Name erhalten – wurden durch die Pandemie verstärkt; die Werbeeinnahmen sanken im untersuchten Zeitraum um 35 Prozent. Als dritter Bereich mit roten Zahlen hatte die hauptsächlich im Verkauf von Fernsehwerbung tätige Goldbach Group ein rückläufiges Ergebnis zu verzeichnen.

  • Yearbook 2020 the Quality of the Media Main Findings the Swiss Media Under the Spell of the Coronavirus Crisis
    Research Center for the Public Sphere and Society Yearbook 2020 The Quality of the Media Main Findings The Swiss Media under the Spell of the Coronavirus Crisis Research Center for the Public Sphere and Society (fög) / University of Zurich 1 Main Findings – The Swiss Media under the Spell of the Coronavirus Crisis Mark Eisenegger Summary The world, Switzerland and the Swiss media are under the spell of the coronavirus crisis. The effects of the pandemic can be seen in all the dimensions examined in this Yearbook. On the one hand, they show several positive findings for journalism. There is more interest in and more use of professional journalism, at times even among young people who otherwise generally have less affinity with news. There is also a relatively high level of media quality. On the other hand, however, the precarious financial situation of journalism in Switzerland is clearly evident. The transformation of the Swiss media and the overall public sphere described in last year’s Yearbook (fög, 2019) as a consequence of tech companies’ rise has been further accentuated in the coronavirus crisis. In the current “corona year”, Google has recorded a slight decline in sales for the first time, and Facebook has also grown at a slower pace. However, in view of the global reces- sion, the tech platforms have clearly “outperformed” (Maron, 2020). This stands in contrast with the field of journalism, where many firms have seen a marked decline in advertising revenues and have had to introduce the scheme of short-time work and request state support. All the major Swiss media companies have an- nounced or have already implemented further cost-cutting measures and budget reductions.

  • 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%).

  • CO2-Gesetz: Nur Noch Eine Sehr Knappe Mehrheit Für Das Ja-Lager
    20 Minuten / Tamedia Unternehmenskommunikation Medienmitteilung CO2-Gesetz: Nur noch eine sehr knappe Mehrheit für das Ja-Lager Knapp fünf Wochen vor der Abstimmung beträgt die Zustimmung für das CO2-Gesetz nur noch 50 Prozent. Auch die Pestizid- und die Trinkwasser-Initiative büssen an Unterstützung ein, weniger als die Häle der Wählerinnen und Wähler sagen Ja zu den Vorlagen. Das Covid-19-Gesetz und das Gesetz über polizeiliche Massnahmen gegen Terrorismus werden von stabilen Zweidrittelmehrheiten unterstützt. Zürich, 19. Mai 2021 – 20 Minuten und Tamedia haben auf ihren Newsportalen die zweite Welle der titelübergreifenden Umfrage im Vorfeld der eidgenössischen Abstimmungen vom 13. Juni 2021 durchgeführt. 19’378 Personen aus der ganzen Schweiz haben am 11. und 12. Mai online an der Umfrage teilgenommen. Der Fehlerbereich liegt bei 1,1 Prozentpunkten. Trinkwasser-Initiative: Die Zustimmung bröckelt Gemäss der zweiten Umfragewelle sprechen sich nur noch 48 Prozent für die Trinkwasser-Initiative aus, 50 Prozent würden die Vorlage derzeit ablehnen. Die Zustimmung ist damit um sechs Prozentpunkte eingebrochen im Vergleich zur ersten Welle. Die Vorlage hat in allen Parteilagern an Zustimmung verloren, die Polarisierung bleibt aber unverändert stark: Wählerinnen und Wähler der linken Parteien und der GLP sind für die Initiative, während sich Wählerinnen und Wähler von SVP, FDP und der Mitte gegen die Vorlage aussprechen. Auch die wichtigsten Argumente sind dieselben geblieben: Befürworterinnen und Befürworter sind überzeugt, dass über eine Million Menschen Trinkwasser konsumieren, welches mit Pestiziden aus der Landwirtscha verschmutzt sei. Die Ablehnung der Gegnerinnen und Gegner gründet insbesondere in der Ansicht, dass die Initiative die Landwirtscha schwächen würde, weil sie weniger Lebensmittel produzieren könnte.
