Ringier Media Switzerland: Three new roles in the newsroom
Sandra Fröhlich and Conny Tovar will serve as co-heads of Media Creation, and Tim Höfinghoff will become head of the Content Hub.
Ringier Media Switzerland is creating a centralized Media Creation division and is thus breaking new ground in magazine and newspaper production. Sandra Fröhlich and Conny Tovar are taking over as co-heads. In addition, the editorial teams will also be more closely interlinked in terms of content: with the creation of an RMS Content Hub, certain subject areas will now be handled centrally. Tim Höfinghoff will take over the management of the new RMS Content Hub.
Tim Höfinghoff as Head of Content Hub RMS
In this role, he coordinates the creation and playout of content that is played out across various channels of Ringier Media Switzerland. He is responsible for the Formats team (podcasts/digital video formats), the Service/Health, Mobility and Izzy teams, the Bolero and Millionär magazines and other specials.
Tim Höfinghoff has held various positions at Ringier for eleven years, most recently as deputy editor-in-chief of the Handelszeitung, for which he is also active as a podcast host. Before that, he worked as a business correspondent in New York and was employed by Spiegel Online and the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.
Steffi Buchli, Chief Content Officer Ringier Media Switzerland: "Tim sees the future potential of RMS and believes that we have a lot to gain from increased cooperation. With his CV, he is an ideal bridge builder between digital and print."
