Blick is a Swiss German-language daily newspaper, published by Ringier in Zurich.

History and profile

Blick was established in 1959.[1] The newspaper was the first Swiss tabloid publication.

The format of Blick was broadsheet until 2005 when it was switched to tabloid.[2] The new format induced controversies: protests began and many boycotted the scandalous newspaper. It was nevertheless a huge financial success. However, in 2009 the daily changed its format to broadsheet.[2]

Blick has a center-left political leaning.[3] Its sister paper is Blick am Abend, an evening free daily.[4] Both papers are owned by Ringier[5] and are based in Zurich.[6]
