Heidi.news

Heidi.news is an independent online media launched in Romandy in 2019. The media outlet publishes daily news, thematic newsletters, and extensive reports and surveys on science, health, and innovation topics.

Aiming to be a helpful media outlet and to publish constructive journalism, the team of 15 journalists works to produce independent and reliable information daily and to offer accurate and in-depth analysis, constructive perspectives, and solutions rather than sensational perspectives.

Free of advertising, Heidi.news has a subscription-based revenue model that makes articles accessible only to subscribers.

It is published by the Geneva-based company Heidi Media SA and financed by its readers through paid subscriptions and Explorations' print reviews. By creating Heidi Solutions, Heidi.news also generates income by offering editorial expertise and training services.

The Aventinus Foundation, whose goal is to support independent press and media, contributed to the initial funding. In November 2020, the foundation announced that it would acquire Heidi.news. Now, the organisation shares its editorial director with the Le Temps, which has also become the foundation's property.
