History
Originally founded in 1738 as the Script error: No such module "Lang"., and was renamed the Script error: No such module "Lang". in 1766. It was created as a weekly, before becoming a twice weekly paper in 1855, a thrice weekly paper in 1873, and eventually becoming a daily newspaper in 1884. The Script error: No such module "Lang". merged with another Neuchâtel paper, Script error: No such module "Lang"., in 1964. The original Script error: No such module "Lang"., the other main daily paper of the city, had been founded in 1891; the combined paper later took its name, and Script error: No such module "Lang". was renamed Script error: No such module "Lang". in 1988.[1]
Script error: No such module "Lang". covered international, national and local issues. The newspaper's circulation was 28,490 in 2003.[1] It was not tied to any political party, but was generally politically conservative.[1] In 1996, it mostly merged with another Neuchâtel paper, Script error: No such module "Lang"., but had kept their names; the respective companies merged three years later to form Script error: No such module "Lang".. Afterwards, the two papers shared much of the same content and an editorial team, but differed in some of their regional coverage.[2][3][1]
It was the oldest still-published French-language newspaper in the world, before it was merged in 2018 with Script error: No such module "Lang". to form ArcInfo.[2][3] This was announced in August 2017 in an op-ed printed in both papers by the co-editor-in-chief Stéphane Devaux, who said things would change at the papers and that they were "in the middle of a vast project", opening up the possibility of merging their distribution.[2][3] The first issue of the paper was to be printed 23 January 2018, featuring a new layout that was identical even in the regional content.[3] No jobs were lost at either paper in the process of the merger.[2][3] The name ArcInfo was the name already used for the online versions of both publications.[3]
