In cooperation with Manuel Bürger I created the corporate identity, website as well as the print version of Basel (Switzerland) based TagesWoche. In cooperation with the swiss editorial staff and Sourcefabric, we developed a new and unique newscast. A hybrid medium consisting of daily news online, and a weekly print version with elaborate background reports.
