Limmattaler Zeitung, commonly shortened to Limmattaler, is a Swiss German-language daily newspaper, published in Dietikon in the Limmat Valley.
The newspaper was first published in 1972 as Limmattaler Tagblatt by Der Limmattaler AG , situated in Dietikon, Canton of Zürich. The current name Limmattaler Zeitung dates from a 2008 merger with the local newspaper Bezirksanzeiger Dietikon. In 2010 the company was bought and absorbed by regional Swiss media conglomerate AZ Medien. [2]
