Le Nouvelliste (French pronunciation: [lə nuvɛlist]) is a Swiss French-language daily newspaper, published in Sion, Valais, by the publishing company Éditions Le Nouvelliste SA. A regional newspaper for the Valais canton, it was established in 1903 in Saint-Maurice by Charles Haegler. At first, it was published three times a week, then became a daily newspaper in 1929.

History

[edit]

The paper was founded by Charles Haegler, the paper's editor-in-chief in 1903 in Saint-Maurice as the Nouvelliste Valaisan, aiming to cover all of the Valais Canton.[1][2] Its first issue was printed 17 November 1903.[2] The paper was conservative and Catholic in orientation.[1][2] The paper was published three times a week until 1928, after which it became a daily, the first Valais paper to do so.[1][2]

Haegler was succeeded by André Luisier ad editor-in-chief in 1949, who merged the paper with another paper from Saint-Maurice, Le Rhône, together forming the Nouvelliste du Rhône, which after 1960 was printed in Sion. This paper then merged with the Feuille d'Avis du Valais in 1968, to form the Le Nouvelliste: feuille d'avis du Valais, renamed in 2005 Le Nouvelliste.[1][2] Starting in 1971, it was the first Swiss daily paper to print using four-color offset printing.[1]

It is printed by Rhône-Média Group.[1] It is the main paper in the Valais canton, alongside the German language Walliser Bote [de].[1][2] In 2008, it had a print run of 42,614.[1] It is published by ESH Médias.[3]
