Largeur.com

Largeur.com is a Swiss online magazine founded on 19 April 1999 by journalists Pierre Grosjean and Gabriel Sigrist. The publication was created as a digital editorial project focused on investigations, columns, and news reports published on a daily basis. Its editorial structure was organized around five broad sections: Glocal, Kapital, Pop Culture, Technophile, and Latitudes. Together, these headings reflected an interest in international and local affairs, business and economics, cultural developments, technology, and broader social or geographic perspectives. The magazine positioned itself around emerging trends, distinctive viewpoints, and exclusive information rather than functioning solely as a conventional general-news outlet. Grosjean and Sigrist had previously participated in the creation of the Swiss daily newspaper Le Temps and had both worked for Le Nouveau Quotidien. Their experience in newspaper journalism informed Largeur.com's emphasis on reporting and editorial analysis, while its online format gave the project a distinct digital identity at a time when internet publishing was still developing. The publication therefore belongs to the early generation of Swiss online magazines established around the turn of the millennium. Over time, the activity associated with Largeur.com expanded beyond publishing articles for its own website. The organization developed into a broader media agency producing original content for Swiss media publications, as well as print and online magazines, books, and other communication products for companies and institutions. In July 2009, these agency and content-production activities were consolidated under a new entity called LargeNetwork. Largeur.com retained its original name as the online magazine, while LargeNetwork became the organizational framework for the wider publishing and custom-content operation. The available reference material does not establish the magazine's current ownership structure, headquarters, financial performance, executive team beyond its founders, or present publishing status. Its documented identity is that of an editorial online-magazine brand associated with Swiss journalism and with the LargeNetwork media agency.

Largeur.com was established on 19 April 1999 by Swiss journalists Pierre Grosjean and Gabriel Sigrist. Both founders had prior experience in Swiss newspaper journalism: they had been involved in the creation of Le Temps and had worked for Le Nouveau Quotidien. Largeur.com was conceived as an online magazine publishing investigations, columns, and news reports on a daily basis. The magazine adopted five editorial headings—Glocal, Kapital, Pop Culture, Technophile, and Latitudes. These categories gave the publication a broad scope, covering local and global issues, business, popular culture, technology, and international or societal subjects. Its stated editorial emphasis was on new trends, original perspectives, and exclusive information. The format placed Largeur.com among the early Swiss digital publications seeking to apply magazine-style editorial treatment to online journalism. The operation subsequently broadened into a media agency. In addition to maintaining the online magazine, it produced original content for Swiss media publications and created magazines, books, and other print and online materials for companies and institutions. This expansion moved the organization beyond a single editorial website toward a wider content-production business. In July 2009, the agency and custom-publishing activities were organized under a new entity, LargeNetwork. Largeur.com continued under its established name as the online magazine, while LargeNetwork represented the broader media and content-production structure. The available sources do not provide sufficient information to establish the brand's current ownership, management, financial position, or whether its publishing activity remains active today.
