The IT entrepreneur Christian Fehrlin set up the online presence of the new “Nebelspalters” with his company, but he also programs much more complex and sensitive software. One of them was tested in a particularly notorious football derby on the Bosporus.

The time has come in two to three weeks: Everything will be new for the satirical magazine “Nebelspalter”, initially online when the new “Nebi” website goes live. A freshly set up editorial team will then feed the online portal with political stories and backgrounds, audio and video podcasts. In terms of content and concept, there will be a realignment. Snappy caricatures and satire remain part of the title, assures the new editor-in-chief Markus Somm.
Critics fear that the «Nebelspalter» under Somm will lose its freedom of fools and will be trimmed on a strictly right-wing conservative course. Somm sees himself as “liberal-libertarian”. One wants to start with the «Nebelspalter» “Create a counterweight to the left-liberal mainstream in the Swiss media,” said er. Under today’s SVP National Councilor Roger Köppel, Somm was for years in the “Weltwoche” editorial management. He then switched to the Basler Zeitung (BaZ), where he began as editor-in-chief and later also was a publisher.
