Irène Troxler to leave the NZZ at the end of the year

Irène Troxler joined the Zurich and Region department of the "Neue Zürcher Zeitung" in 2001 as an editor, where she focused on the topics of urban development and urban Zurich politics. In the fall of 2017, she took over as head of the department. In this role, she shaped local reporting - also by giving more space to researched stories and generally promoting the narrative aspect in the department. "I very much regret Irène Troxler's departure," Eric Gujer, editor-in-chief of the NZZ, said in a statement. "On behalf of the entire editorial board, I would like to express my sincere thanks for her achievements as well as her many years of commitment to our paper."

The search for a new head for the Zurich and Region department will begin soon.
