History
editThe paper was created in Lausanne, with its first issues published in September of 1991. It was published by Edipresse, though the French paper Libération and the Swiss media group Ringier also had financial involvement in the publication.[1]
The paper was not regional and did not stick to any specific location in its coverage. Shortly after the launch of the paper, it had a circulation of 30,000, while its primary competition was the more conservative Journal de Genève.[1]
Both papers began facing financial troubles, and in February 1998 the Quotidien and the Journal were discontinued, to be combined to form Le Temps the next month.[2]
The paper's digitized archives are available on the Le Temps Archives website.[3]
