Executive Board of Südostschweiz Presse AG reconstituted

The management of Südostschweiz Presse AG will be reconstituted as of September 1, 2006. The company plans to focus more strongly on editorial marketing, i.e. the sale of publishing products and services. In addition, Südostschweiz am Sonntag is to be well supported in the reader market and in advertising. To this end, the company will be reorganized into four business divisions. Andrea Masüger, who is also Editor-in-Chief of Südostschweiz and Delegate of the Board of Directors, will head the Newspapers division. Beat Ravaioli heads the Publishing and Marketing division. Reto Brüesch is responsible for finance and administration and Toni Thoma for production and technology. The company is managed by Andrea Masüger as Director and Beat Ravaioli as Vice Director.
The existing Publishing division will be strengthened and divided into the Publishing Graubünden and Publishing Glarus/Gaster See divisions. Markus Mehr, the former Head of Marketing Projects, will be appointed Head of Publishing Graubünden.
Daniela Brunner takes over the management of the Glarus/Gaster See publishing house. She replaces Helga Beyeler, who has retired. Mehr and Brunner join the extended management team.
The Board of Directors remains unchanged with Chairman Hanspeter Lebrument, Andrea Masüger (Delegate), Otto Meier and Andrea von Rechenberg.
