Free dailies located in southern European countries usually close down for the summer holidays, and free dailies in Switzerland are now considering doing the same, Newspaper Innovation reported Friday.

Located between the North and South, the country's free dailies Le Matin Bleu (published in the French speaking part of the country) and .ch (published in the German speaking part), are considering closing in the summer time as well.

Southern European countries that close down their free dailies in summer include Portugal, Spain, France, Greece and Italy. There are no free newspapers distributed in the months of August and part of July, Newspaper Innovation reported.

Other Swiss free papers 20 Minuten/Minutes and News, published in Tamedia, are not planning on closing throughout the summer months.
