And there's a direct link to the forum discussions...
Nice to see that 'our' news is 'their' news too ('Just the news' links to the Swiss politics / news sub-forum).

Same company that supports this forum? So will we be paid as journalists?  |

Have we agreed to be published elsewhere ?
I suppose Google Indexing is the same...

I think our job as enterprising journalists should be to keep it up there
(it is Friday afternoon, after all)

Yup, The Local is so local that the property section is quoting Swiss rental prices in SEK

"We're delighted to welcome you to the beta version of our English language news and information site – in Switzerland."
If this is the beta, I shudder to think what earlier versions must have been like  |

Looks like having "bought" EF, they're just applying their usual model to it.

It is a shame that it wasn't announced here officially. Why leave it for someone to discover it?

Although the site has been online for a little while already, it is only just barely launched "officially". The bugs are being shaken out. Still a few to go though, as noted above.
There is an announcement planned for Monday. Full details then. In the meantime, have a great weekend!

So it would be safe to assume that even more scrutiny to posts will be performed.... ?
Basically, Thread titles will appear in the "Discuss Section"....

We're still in the early stages of setting up the site, but we hope you'll have a look and let us know what you think! | | | | | So it was announced to some 15.000 facebook fans of the local. Probably very few of which live in Switzerland. Anyway: Looks like facebook is by now more important than EF. Discuss.
