LZ Medien reorganizes company management

The executive board of LZ Medien Holding will be expanded and restructured starting next year. Thomas Bornhauser, editor-in-chief of the Neue Luzerner Zeitung, will become a new member of the executive board. Daniel Ettlinger will replace Anton Schaller, the managing director of Multicolor Print.

The management of LZ Medien Holding in Lucerne will be expanded at the beginning of the year: Thomas Bornhauser, Editor-in-Chief of the Neue Luzerner Zeitung and its regional editions, will join the top operational body. Bornhauser, 52, was Editor-in-Chief of the Luzerner Zeitung from 1993 to 1995 and has headed the largest daily newspaper in Central Switzerland since its merger with the LNN. By integrating the editor-in-chief into the company management, he wants to give greater weight to journalism within the media company, CEO and board delegate Erwin Bachmann is quoted as saying in a press release. Bachmann will continue to chair the Executive Board.
At the commercial print shop Multicolor Print in Baar, Daniel Ettlinger will replace the previous Managing Director Anton Schaller, who is retiring at the end of February 2008 (see
). He will also succeed Schaller on the Executive Board. As before, Jürg Weber, Managing Director of Neue Luzerner Zeitung, and Jörg Schnyder, CFO and Managing Director of LZ Management, are members of the Executive Board; Jörg Schnyder will remain Deputy CEO.
In addition, the LZ Group's inner management team has been strengthened: Joachim Freiberg, Managing Director of Radio Pilatus, and Heinz Meyer, Head of Internal Sales and Deputy Managing Director of Multicolor Print, have joined the management team.
