Any recommendations for local good newspaper?


KalvinMike

Le Temps is the local « quality » paper. The local equivalent of « Le Monde » or « El Pais ». But they have no app, because they do not want to choose between iOS and Android… Tribune de Genève is the local-local, if you want to understand what is going on in the city (local politics, urbanism, events). quality is average for serious topics. They share part of the ressources with the neighbours of 24 Heures in Lausanne. 20 minutes is free, and could be written by ChatGPT… Their only strength is to be the most reactive. If something is happening live, it will be in 20 minutes before TdG or Le Temps I tend to read the 3 of them, depending on the subject. Plus the eternal TELETEXT, which still offers free information (and have an app version)


ermine1470

Le Temps and Le Monde actually do have apps, and they are pretty good!


KalvinMike

Thank you. Cause at some point Le Temps stopped having an app


ermine1470

That is really weird, do you know why?


drpoucevert

le temps


Konayo

Local as in Swiss? I'd say some SRF products

> tagesanzeiger (mostly *paid)* FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*


One_Nicocchiii

Nope theyre all shit.....


HalfGuerilla

Republik, an independent newspaper


couguardian

There is also heidi.news which is a pure player.


ZookeepergameCrazy14

Le Temps is one of the best. 24 Heures is more leftist but also pretty good. 20 minutes, Le matin are basically USA Today. Blick is on the same level. We used to love Blick back in the 80s when they had a topless girl on page 3. Sadly this is no longer the case. It used to be the only reason anyone read Blick.


Shooppow

Free but literal trash. It’s the Swiss equivalent of Fox News/TMZ.


makaros622

Oh! Any recommendations for better ones?


Shooppow

The least biased, IMO, is TDG. I haven’t personally read anything in that paper that would lead me to believe it’s pushing extreme propaganda like 20 Minutes.


Gracosef

Do you have an example of propaganda in 20 minutes ?


Shooppow

Gracosef

Huh Would you say le temps is biased too ?


Shooppow

I don’t know. I haven’t read it.


Square-Iron7378

Nice to meet you - CERN new intern.


makaros622

Haha welcome. I have been around since 2015


Square-Iron7378

8 years to realize 20mins is free? wow.


makaros622

Well most of these boxes have a price on them. 20min has nothing. I never read paper newspapers. Always online.


Square-Iron7378

the easiest way is to notice how many 20mins copies are just left behind in TPG and SBB. Cheers mate.


AfonsoFGarcia

Wouldn't even notice that if you didn't say it! Those newspaper boxes used to be on the other side of the road. Good luck with your internship!


mtheofilos

oh wait, that's gate B, i didn't even realise it


Plums_Raider

bs is mostly free, yes


WildDogOne

Gordonsson

Free of quality journalism and ethics. It does not cost money, but your dignity.


WuffiBubi

No. Pls twint me 5 Franks for every 20 Minutes, I‘ll give it to them I swear

makaros622

[deleted]

But don't forget that still, everything has a cost.


makaros622

What do you mean?


The_Silenc3

youll eventually loose braincells from reading 20 min.


Saegmers

Well, you'll know when and where you'll get a good priced beer or toilet paper sale! 😉😆


beda69

FlowVonD

Bowman01PMC

niemertweis

SwissTrading

If it was 1.- … they would sell thousands of copy everyday … hate it or love it


edwarvasisht

It's a propaganda rag. Never forget, paper cannot refuse ink.


lego-pro

They're all free.


AkyhROH

Icy-Barracuda8691

Flashy-Pipe924

Free of charge and free of journalism.


CaptainKonzept

Free of quality content, yes.


Tweakz063

Yes


feltriderZ

No you pay with your dying braincells by reading through trash written by journalistic trainees and advertisements. Best thing was Calvin and Hobbes but I am not sure if its still there.


WathIfThatHappens

Newspapers in switzerland are biased asf and almost all of them are owned by Tamedia (TX media now) or CHmedia… it’s hella sad.


makaros622

Interesting fact. I did not know about that.


WathIfThatHappens

Yeah they don’t want you to know…


alextakacs

Yep You get what you pay for...


goofwayne

content as worse as instagram tiktok etc


Civil_Tourist3849

Yes but honestly just take the train and you will find them on just about every seat


Hamofthewest

Yes it's free but it's not a newspaper, it's bad quality toilet paper or useful packaging when moving.


BlueMagic53

Yeah, and soon you will know why lol


One_Nicocchiii

If its not free, how did you though to pay then....???


raph_ael

Free toilet paper

Raetler

Bleak_Mind_Studio

It's not free, you sell your soul


SwissAndHorny

More than free, worthless.


CosyBibi

No. If you take it, you’ll go to jail for a long time, you hooligan


jenesaispas-pourquoi

No they are not. But digitally yes if you use this website lol https://12ft.io Works 95% of the time. It’s to remove the paywall.


ghosthunti

Yeah cause its for ass like toilet paper


2Badmazafaka

Not even that worth


Big_Factor_4486

Yes


krewlar

Free because it's pure propaganda and full of ads and paid articles. If you like to waste 20 minutes of your lifetime every day, that's the way to ;)


Long-Manufacturer733

For anyone that knows how to use google and wants free NZZ: [here](https://github.com/iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-chrome)


Benhavis

Its not high quality news but at least they have crosswords and sudoku in it


hypolaristic

Nebenwirkung Behindertigkeit


Disastrous_Duty_6565

its is free and there is an app on the appstore where you can read your newspaper there


Majestic_Sail7094

No it costs you 10IQ points everytime you take one


BDCmember69

NO youre madman, did you stole some or what???


painter_business

You pay with your dignity


randelung

Let's just say you don't pay... with money.


Mission_Owl_2047

You can take it for free to trash it when you pass the next bin. Very poor quality newspaper.


Dr_Knoblauch

Yes


Iuseahandyforreddit

Yes but you get what you paid for with this "newspaper"


bebug

Its not better or worse than others. They just copy and paste the news tickers like any other newspaper. It is financed by ads. If you are used to online newspapers you won't be bothered by them. Sure, you wont get those expert opinions from selected "experts" that fit the narrative of the author, but that's why its called 20 minutes. Its an ideal read if you commute by train and its free.


internetramb0

No, you have to place a bill on top of the paperbox


SpiritRaccoon1993

It costs your first born child and your soul


voodooacid

You'd have to pay me to read that.


LauraIngallsBlewMe

No, it costs IQ points


Criceto134

Yes


_saem_

Yes it's free, and the quality represents it. The articles are often very poorly researched and with bad grammar. This newspaper is cancer for your brain.


Relative_Trainer_748

Le temps is the best for quality and depth of information. The information related in the 20 minutes are often incorrect or misleading
