This isn’t strictly true, as can be seen from their page sample for the Zürich und Region section of the paper. This contains an advert the same size as the one on the original front page.

However I do agree that it wasn’t addressed and that this is something I think worthy of discussion. Removing front page adverts may destroy their artistic vision, but it also takes a huge revenue stream away from the newspaper. How they addressed this issue, I would like to have known.

Looks like they did away with advertising too. But that wasn’t addressed, unless the ads became more text-based, like what Google does.

Thanks for pointing this out, Andy. I’ve now updated the post to reflect this shocking development.

You’ve a better memory than I, evidently.
