In 1861 acquired Salomon Bleuler the book printing and the newspaper publishing, and under his editorial (1860 to 1886) the newspaper became the leading organ of the Democratic movement of national importance and the organ of the Democratic Party (DP) of the canton of Zürich. Important editors were from 1866 to 1870 Friedrich Albert Lange, and beginning in 1877, Gottlieb Ziegler. After the death of Bleuler in 1886, the company was in the possession of the family Ziegler – Ziegler brothers as a collective society, later limited partnership, from 1974 called ''Ziegler Druck- und Verlags-AG'', being a family corporation. The company also publishes daily. With the decline of the DP in 1971, ''Landbote'' was transformed into a liberal newspaper forum. Articles about issues outside the ''Zürichsee'' region of the '' Zürichsee-Zeitung'' are managed by the editorial team of the ''Landbote''. ''Landbote'' also serves as ''Winterthurer Stadtanzeiger'' as the official publication organ of the city of Winterthur. The circulation rose steadily (1854 3'080, 1885 6,500, 1914 9,000, 1936 11,000, 1950 15,650, 27,900 in 1970, 40,000 in 1986), and in 2001 it was 46,427 copies, making it the leading newspaper in Winterthur and the surrounding region. In 2014 the paper had a circulation of 29,295 copies.
