Der Landbote, commonly shortened to Landbote, is a Swiss, German-language daily newspaper, published in Winterthur, Switzerland.
Der Landbote was founded in 1836 in Winterthur as a liberal weekly paper of the so-called Landschaft, i.e. the region of the canton of Zürich excluding the city of Zürich. From 1857, it was distributed as a daily paper of the young liberal direction; editors were among others Johannes Scherr and Jakob Dubs. In 1861 acquired Salomon Bleuler the book printing and the newspaper publishing, and under his editorial (1860 to 1886) the newspaper became the leading organ of the Democratic movement of national importance and the organ of the Democratic Party (DP) of the canton of Zürich. Important editors were from 1866 to 1870 Friedrich Albert Lange, and beginning in 1877, Gottlieb Ziegler. After the death of Bleuler in 1886, the company was in the possession of the family Ziegler – Ziegler brothers as a collective society, later limited partnership, from 1974 called Ziegler Druck- und Verlags-AG, being a family corporation. The company also publishes daily. [1] With the decline of the DP in 1971, Landbote was transformed into a liberal newspaper forum. [2]
Articles about issues outside the Zürichsee region of the Zürichsee-Zeitung are managed by the editorial team of the Landbote. [3]
Landbote also serves as Winterthurer Stadtanzeiger as the official publication organ of the city of Winterthur.
The circulation rose steadily (1854 3'080, 1885 6,500, 1914 9,000, 1936 11,000, 1950 15,650, 27,900 in 1970, 40,000 in 1986), and in 2001 it was 46,427 copies, making it the leading newspaper in Winterthur and the surrounding region. [2] In 2014 the paper had a circulation of 29,295 copies. [4]

Die Tat was a social liberal Swiss newspaper published by Migros from 1935 to 1978, first as a weekly, then as an evening daily and finally as a morning tabloid. It was launched by the founder of Migros, Gottlieb Duttweiler. While the weekly newspaper was the party organ of the Alliance of Independents, the evening paper quickly emancipated from it and also gained a high reputation outside Switzerland, in particular thanks to its weekend supplement Die literarische Tat under the direction of Max Rychner and Erwin Jaeckle and the collaboration of numerous well-known journalists. The decline of the political press in the 1970s, combined with a lack of advertising revenue due to its proximity to Migros, led to the closure of the evening newspaper at the end of March 1977. The then president of Migros, Pierre Arnold, tried to continue the title as a tabloid. However, after 16 months, the paper's harsh style, which was critical of the economy, forced him to dismiss editor-in-chief Roger Schawinski. Without consulting the editorial team, he appointed Karl Vögeli in his place, who was supposed to guarantee a more moderate direction for the paper. The following protest strike by the editorial team led to the closure of the tabloid at the end of September 1978, just one and a half years after its launch.
