Last but not least: Geldof plays editor-in-chief at Bild
Musician Bob Geldof will take over as editor-in-chief of *Bild* for one day at the end of May, replacing Kai Diekmann. Until now, it was generally thought that Geldof was more of an expert in music than in journalism. However, as long as the assignment doesn’t fall on a Monday, he should be able to pull it off, given his knowledge of the celebrity world.
Musician Bob Geldof will take over from Bild editor-in-chief Kai Diekmann for one day at the end of May. Geldof, who has been intensively involved in the fight against poverty in Africa for years, will work with the editorial team to produce an edition of the German tabloid for the G8 summit. This campaign is part of a cooperation between Bob Geldof and Bild in the run-up to the G-8 summit, which will take place from June 6 to 8, 2007 in the Baltic Sea resort of Heiligendamm. Editor-in-chief Kai Diekmann expressed his enthusiasm in a statement from the Axel Springer publishing house: "I am looking forward to being represented for a day by a proven expert like Bob Geldof."
Although Geldof was previously thought to be more of an expert in music than in newspapers, the self-proclaimed helper of the third world certainly has good connections to the celebrity world. So perhaps he can have a little exclusive story about Madonna or Robbie Williams ready for Bild. Let's just hope that Geldof's assignment at the tabloid doesn't fall on a Monday; then the editorial team would hardly come across a boss in a good mood. After all, Geldof sang the legendary song "I Don't Like Mondays" as frontman of the Boomtown Rats...
