History
editThe Bote der Urschweiz was founded in 1858 by the brothers Melchior and Dominik Triner as the Wochenzeitung der Urschweiz. From 1859 to 1862, it was published twice a week under the name Der Bote aus der Urschweiz, after which it was renamed to its current name. In December 1979, the paper started publishing three times a week and in November 1994, after the integration of the newspaper Schwyzer Zeitung into the Luzerner Zeitung, daily.[5] In 1997, the newspaper started a partnership with Die Südostschweiz.[6]
The newspaper is regarded as liberal, due to its past Gesinnungsgemeinschaft with the Liberal Party of Switzerland.[6]
Since 2014, the newspaper has been in a partnership with the Luzerner Zeitung, and it integrated their local newspaper, the Neue Schwyzer Zeitung.[7]
In June 2024, it was announced that the printing would be done externally by CH Media starting in 2025.[8]
