Realignment at Tamedia leads to departures in editorial offices
Tamedia’s strategic realignment is also having an impact on personnel in the editorial departments. Kerstin Hasse, a member of the Tages-Anzeiger’s editorial board, and Benjamin Geiger, editor-in-chief of the Zurich Newspaper Group, will be leaving the company.
Hasse has decided to leave Tamedia, as the Zurich-based media company announced on Monday. She joined Tamedia in 2022 as Editor-in-Chief Digital, and in 2023 she became a member of the Editor-in-Chief of the Tages-Anzeiger and was responsible for the digital strategy of the multimedia channels of the Tages-Anzeiger.
Geiger was most recently responsible for the Zurich newspaper network. This was launched in 2021 and consists of the three regional newspapers Zurichsee-Zeitung, Zürcher Unterländer and the Winterthur Country Messenger and the Zurich department of the Tages-Anzeiger.
In future, the editorial teams of the regional newspapers will work together with the Zurich section of the Tages-Anzeiger headed by Tagi editor-in-chief Raphaela Birrer. (SDA/swi)
