The third axis could be formed by the NZZ regional newspapers together with the AZ Medien titles. At the beginning of November , Kleinreport reported on a joint venture to be founded and managed by Axel Wüstmann.

And as we all know, they are under pressure. It doesn't have to be the "song for money" model, but it wouldn't hurt to think about unconventional ways.
