24 heures (literally "24 Hours") is a Swiss regional Swiss-French-language daily newspaper, published by Tamedia in Lausanne, Vaud. Founded in 1762 as a collection of announcements and official communications, it is the oldest newspaper in the world with uninterrupted publication.
24 heures was founded in 1762 by François Duret as the Annonces et avis divers, a collection of announcements and classified ads like many at the times. The paper later became the Feuille d'avis de Lausanne, and integrated an independent news section on 16 December 1872. The paper adopted its current name a century later, in 1972.
Since 25 February 2005, the newspaper has had four local editions, with sections for the specific area of the canton:
The Nord Vaudois-Broye and Riviera-Chablais editions replaced the newspapers La Presse Riviera-Chablais and La Presse Nord Vaudois.
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. As of 2017, the newspaper had a circulation of 55,147.
