Südostschweiz was founded in 1997 by a merger of several regional papers, some of which were over a hundred years old. It is distributed in the cantons of Graubünden, Schwyz and Glarus. Its publisher Südostschweiz Mediengruppe competes with the NZZ Media Group, which also publishes in said cantons. Since a new editor-in-chief took over in 2016 Südostschweiz has concentrated on boosting its circulation by specialising in coverage of local events (Graubünden first). The publisher of Südostschweiz also operates a TV and radio station.
