Le Nouvelliste (Switzerland)

Le Nouvelliste (French pronunciation: [lə nuvɛlist]) is a Swiss French-language daily newspaper, published in Sion, Valais, by the publishing company Éditions Le Nouvelliste SA.

A regional newspaper for the Valais canton, it was established in 1903 in Saint-Maurice by Charles Haegler.

[1][2] Haegler was succeeded by André Luisier ad editor-in-chief in 1949, who merged the paper with another paper from Saint-Maurice, Le Rhône, together forming the Nouvelliste du Rhône, which after 1960 was printed in Sion.

This paper then merged with the Feuille d'Avis du Valais in 1968, to form the Le Nouvelliste: feuille d'avis du Valais, renamed in 2005 Le Nouvelliste.

[1] It is the main paper in the Valais canton, alongside the German language Walliser Bote.
