Thurgauer Zeitung: David Angst becomes new editorial director
David Angst will head the editorial team of the Thurgauer Zeitung in future. This was announced by St. Galler Tagblatt AG on Wednesday evening. Angst will take up the new position in January 2011.
According to a press release, the 44-year-old has been the domestic editor of the St. Galler Tagblatt for four years and originally comes from Thurgau, where he began his journalistic career at the Thurgauer Volkszeitung in 1993. He later wrote for the Thurgauer Zeitung and the Thurgau edition of the Tagblatt, among others. Angst's appointment is a key decision "as part of the project work to integrate the Thurgauer Zeitung into the Tagblatt newspaper network", according to a statement from St. Galler Tagblatt AG quoted by SDA.
In April, it was announced that the Thurgauer Zeitung would be transferred from Zurich-based Tamedia to Freie Presse Holding AG (FPH) - a subsidiary of the NZZ media group. In return, Tamedia is taking over the shareholdings of FPH and the Gut publishing family in the Zurich regional newspapers. The Thurgauer Zeitung will thus be integrated into the St. Galler Tagblatt Medien, which belongs to FPH, from the beginning of 2011.
According to the communiqué, the Thurgauer Zeitung will be published as the largest edition of the Tagblatt network from next year. A newspaper "with well-staffed editorial offices in Frauenfeld, Arbon, Kreuzlingen and Weinfelden will then cover the entire canton".
