Peter Röthlisberger, the designated editor-in-chief of Abendzeitung Heute, is taking up his post earlier than announced: he will head the editorial team with immediate effect. His deputy with immediate effect is Markus Helbling, who most recently worked at Ringier as Project Manager Euro 08. Daniel Steil, the previous interim editor-in-chief, had his last day on Wednesday. He will start at the German tabloid Bild on July 15, where he will take over as head of the entertainment editorial department.
Ringier announced at the end of March that Peter Röthlisberger would head Blick am Abend, which will take over from Heute on June 2. Originally it was said that Röthlisberger would also start at the free newspaper on June 2 (see
). As Steil is now already leaving the company, the start of his new role has probably had to be brought forward. Röthlisberger was deputy editor-in-chief at Sonntagsblick until mid-April. Hannes Britschgi has taken over this job. There has also been another change at Heute: Art Director Anka Wessely is stepping down. Patrick Brun, who is also to fill this position at the new Blick am Abend, will continue as AD.
