History and operations
Published in tabloid format, Heute was first published on 15 May 2006. It was an afternoon paper.[1]
The paper was the second Pendlerzeitung (commuter newspaper) in Switzerland, after the morning newspaper 20 Minuten, being distributed in the evenings, from approximately 3 pm.
With a claimed initial print run of 200,000, the newspaper was said to have been one of the most popular daily newspapers in Switzerland according to the publisher's own statistics.
The paper ceased publication with a final edition on 30 May 2008. As from 2 June 2008 Heute was replaced by another free newspaper Blick am Abend.[1][2]
