"Media consumption changed significantly during the pandemic. The majority of the 20 Minuten readers consumed their news online. The print edition was no longer read on the way to work, but rather while shopping or in the waiting room at a doctor's appointment. Today, we see that for many readers the newspaper is still an integral part of their daily media use and offers orientation in the current news. 20 Minuten believes in the strength of print and is investing in the future. The printed edition will be upgraded this spring and will receive a refresh in terms of page count, paper quality as well as content and design."
