Last but not least: Michael Ringier about FAM

In the latest issue of the magazine, publisher Michael Ringier refutes the claim that Frank A. Meyer was partly responsible for Thomas Landolt having to step down from his position as head of Ringier Switzerland. He calls it «nonsense, pure myth-making.».

 In the current issue of the magazine, publisher Michael Ringier rejects the claim that Frank A. Meyer was partly responsible for Thomas Landolt having to leave his post as Head of Ringier Switzerland. This is "cabbage, pure fabrication of legends". It was no longer possible with Landolt "because he was used to running a company like a general from Romania". This was bound to lead to a culture clash in Switzerland. Ringier generally doesn't seem to like questions about Frank A. Meyer alias FAM: "Oh God, don't bring that up, it's a pointless topic," he replied when asked to talk about FAM. He had become accustomed to being asked about Meyer, but he felt sorry for him when his role was constantly brought up again. Ringier is annoyed by "these miserable journalistic achievements". According to the publisher, rehashing old cheese for 25 years doesn't make it any better.
The fact that Frank A. Meyer is polarizing at Ringier is "another fairy tale". The editors-in-chief have "a totally relaxed relationship with him, are completely independent and enjoy discussing things with him". Ringier comes to the following conclusion about Meyer: "He is extremely stimulating".
