The economic climate was relatively positive despite the strength of the Swiss franc; however this was not reflected in the financial results of advertising, an impor- tant market for the media sector. Furthermore, the expected acceleration of structural changes took effect. The corporate response to this development is first of all improvements in efficiency, which extends to col- laboration with other independent media corporations. Secondly, we are developing new business areas, par- ticularly with regard to the 20 Minuten and digital media. We also expect long-term solutions to come from the payment models for the expanded digital content of our subscription newspapers. In this regard we are reliant on our digital payment models not being exposed to competition from free services offered by SRG, which is largely financed by television licence fees. The 2012 financial year was marked by rapid growth at Tamedia. We have invested in strengthening the field of investigative journalism with the expansion of the research desk of Le Matin Dimanche and Son- ntagsZeitung and also through our investigative journalism summer course initiative at Columbia University in New York. The online and print editorial teams of 20 Minuten and the Tages-Anzeiger are successfully under- going a challenging process of convergence. The SonntagsZeitung, thanks to cooperation with the Bund and the Basler Zeitung, is now in the process of becoming the most circulated Sunday paper in Switzerland. We have launched two promising magazines: the national lifestyle magazine Encore and the multilingual supplement Auto. Our real estate platform Homegate strengthened its leading market position with its investment in Immostreet. In collaboration with Ringier, we have taken over the jobs platform jobs.ch. Combined with our job portals alpha.ch, jobsuchmaschine.ch, jobup.ch and jobwinner.ch this provides an excellent starting point in an important business area for us: the job advert market. In collaboration with our partner at 20 minuti, publisher Giacomo Salvioni, we were able to invest in the leading online portal tio.ch in Ticino. Following the success- ful creation of the Luxemburg commuter newspaper L’essentiel in partnership with Editpress, at year-end we were able to lay the foundation for substantial expansion abroad, thanks to the acquisition of the Danish commuter paper MetroXpress. We are also making progress in the printing business: since September, the Bieler Tagblatt has been produced in the Berne printing centre and from April the printing of the Basler Zeitung will be taken over by us in Zurich. 2 Excerpt from the Annual Report 2012 We should be proud of achieving this dynamic growth under challenging conditions. With net income of CHF 152 million and a margin of 14%, 2012 was also a financially encouraging year. However, extraordinary effects once again had a positive influence on the income statement. The net income achieved by the ordi- nary business was some CHF 120 million, while it had been around CHF 160 million in the previous year. Even though 2011 had been the best financial year in the company’s history, this is still a disappointing perform- ance. In addition to the strategic steps presented, cost measures were also introduced in order to compensate for a reduction in the margin. On a positive note, the balance sheet shows that after financing the acquisition of Edipresse Suisse, Tamedia was again largely debt free at the end of 2012. However, since then we have again had to borrow substantial funds for the acquisition of jobs.ch. Repayment of these borrowed funds is to be made in the next two to three years from the current business. Against this backdrop, the Board of Directors will propose to the General Meeting that a dividend of CHF 4.50 per share be distributed. This encouraging company growth and positive net income have only been made possible thanks to the work of our Management Board and our employees. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to extend my warm thanks to you all. Special thanks go to Martin Kall, who led the operational business from 2002 until the end of 2012. He was fundamental in optimising our business and setting the course for long-term contin- ued growth. In so doing, he has laid the foundation for encouraging company growth. He also contributed greatly to the individual steps along the way. Unfortunately, he has decided to step down after ten years of service. Martin Kall has left the company in excellent condition. He has left behind a well-prepared successor in Christoph Tonini, a solid and experienced management team, competent and committed employees, and a company that occupies a strong position in attractive markets. The Board of Directors will propose to the General Meeting that it should elect Martin Kall to the Board of Directors. We would be delighted to continue to work together with him in this new capacity. It is with regret that we must report the passing of one of the Members of the Board of Directors in the sum- mer. Charles von Graffenried died a few days before his 87th birthday following a short illness. Throughout his life, he was an impressive individual with various spheres of influence. Indeed, he helped to shape the Swiss media landscape – as the creator and publisher of the Berner Zeitung, the founder and Chairman of Espace Media Groupe, the publisher of Bund, a partner in the merger of Espace Media and Tamedia and since then, a member of Tamedia’s Board of Directors. Already prior to that, he had an impact on Tamedia, advis- ing my family – formerly the sole and now the majority owner – and coming up with the name Tamedia. We will always feel indebted to him. On reaching the end of his term in office, Martin Bachem has decided to leave the Board of Directors. Aged 55 and an economist, he has served as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Ziegler Druck- und Verlags-AG since 1996 and is a member of the founding family. My colleagues on the Board of Directors and I regret that he has decided to leave the Board, which he has enriched with his conscientious and skilled work. He has decided to leave the Board of Directors in order to avoid a conflict of interest as Ziegler Druck- und Verlags- AG, in which Tamedia holds a 20% share, is taken forward. Our thanks and best wishes go with him. My cousin Andreas Schulthess has announced his resignation from the Board of Directors. He wishes to pur- sue a new career path, and so, after six years as a member of the Board, is unfortunately not standing for re- election to it. I would like to thank him, also on behalf of the Board of Directors, for his great commitment in a time of fundamental change in the company. We are delighted that he has decided to remain affiliated with the company as a family shareholder. The Board of Directors will propose to the General Meeting the election of my cousin Claudia Coninx-Kaczynski as his successor in the Board of Directors. Aged 39 and a lawyer, she studied at the University of Zurich and the London School of Economics and Political Sciences before carry- ing out research work at the University of Zurich, after which she led the business of a real estate company as a member of the Board of Directors.

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.
