History
[edit]The paper was founded in 1881 in La Chaux-de-Fonds. It was a sister newspaper to L'Express. It merged with L'Express to create ArcInfo. The papers had previously mostly merged in 1996, but had kept their names; the respective companies merged three years later. Afterwards, the two papers shared much of the same content and an editorial team, but differed in some of their regional coverage. No jobs were lost at either paper in the process of the merger.[1][2] 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.[1][2]
The name ArcInfo was the name already used for the online versions of both publications.[2] The last edition of the newspaper was published on 22 January 2018.[2]
