Neue Luzerner Zeitung

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Neue Luzerner Zeitung (Neue LZ) is a Swiss regional newspaper based in Lucerne. The German-language daily (ISSN 1421-7430) has a certified distribution of 134,526 and a readership of 290,000 (WEMF 2004). Editor-in-chief is Thomas Bornhauser.

It is published in six regional editions: for the Canton of Lucerne, and, under specific titles, for the cantons of Zug (Neue Zuger Zeitung), Uri (Neue Urner Zeitung), Obwalden (Neue Obwaldner Zeitung), Nidwalden (Neue Nidwaldner Zeitung), Schwyz (Neue Schwyzer Zeitung).

Neue Luzerner Zeitung was created in 1996 through the merger of Luzerner Zeitung (LZ) and Luzerner Neuste Nachrichten (LNN). Luzerner Zeitung (LZ) (1991-1996) had replaced the two dailies Luzerner Tagblatt and Vaterland.
