Foundation and operations
edit24 heures was founded in 1762 by David Duret (1733–1803) as the Annonces et avis divers,[3] a collection of announcements and classified ads like many at the time. The paper later became the Feuille d'avis de Lausanne, and integrated an independent news section on 16 December 1872.[2] The paper adopted its current name a century later, in 1972.[4][5]
Change of name
editSince 25 February 2005, the newspaper has had four local editions, with sections for the specific area of the canton:[6]
The Nord Vaudois-Broye and Riviera-Chablais editions replaced the newspapers La Presse Riviera-Chablais and La Presse Nord Vaudois.[7]
The newspaper shares some of its content with the Tribune de Genève, Tamedia's local newspaper for the Canton of Geneva.
The 2006 circulation of 24 heures was 95,315 copies.[8] As of 2017, the newspaper had a circulation of 55,147.[1]
