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.
