New dual leadership at the Jungfrau Zeitung
Samuel Günter, previously deputy editor-in-chief, and editor Beat Kohler will now jointly lead the Jungfrau Zeitung as co-editors-in-chief.

The Jungfrau Zeitung is getting a new management team. Samuel Günter, previously deputy editor-in-chief, and editor Beat Kohler will now lead the paper together as a dual leadership team. They are taking over from Urs Gossweiler, who wants to concentrate on his role as publisher again with immediate effect and in particular on the cooperation with ProSieben on the "Funky Kitchen Club". Gossweiler took over as editor-in-chief last September (see
). He is responsible for directing the cooking show "Funky Kitchen Club". Managing the publishing house and acting as editor-in-chief at the same time seems difficult: "I'm wearing too many hats at the moment," said Gossweiler in a press release. At the beginning of the year, he gradually handed over the internal processes for which the Editor-in-Chief is responsible to his deputy Samuel Günter and Beat Kohler. The two will now not only assume internal management responsibility, but also overall responsibility for the newspaper. Samuel Günter's professional background includes the Oberländische Volksblatt, the Berner Zeitung and Radio Berner Oberland. Since July 1, 2003, he has been working for Gossweiler Media as editor for politics and business in Interlaken. Beat Kohler is a journalistic career changer: after teaching as a secondary school teacher for four years, he moved to Gossweiler Media in July 2001, where he mainly deals with economic and political issues. According to the press release, the two new editors-in-chief want to maintain the newspaper's positioning as a forum newspaper and also intensify the online platform with web TV reports.
There has also been a change in the editorial team at the Jungfrauzeitung: Patrick Hirschi is the new editor-in-chief and the editorial team is now based in Meiringen. Hirschi previously worked as an editor at the Freiburger Nachrichten.
