The editorial staff of the Sonntagszeitung is undergoing a reorganization. Simon Bärtschi has been appointed as the new deputy editor-in-chief. Dominic Geisseler will also become a deputy editor-in-chief.
Bärtschi, who has worked for the Sonntagszeitung since 2003 and has been head of the news department since 2007, will take up his new position on October 1, 2010. Prior to his move, he worked for the Aargauer Zeitung and as a freelance journalist for various Swiss daily newspapers.

He was editor-in-chief of the magazine Schweizer Illustrierte until 2008 and was previously editor-in-chief of the program guides Tele, TV2 and TV4 as well as editor-in-chief of the Coopzeitung.
Simon Bärtschi and Dominic Geisseler are taking over from Armin Müller and Ueli Walther. Armin Müller is moving to the Handelszeitung as Chief Economist. Ueli Walther, who wishes to take on a new challenge, will be leaving the Sonntagszeitung at his own request at the end of October 2010.
