The editor of the Berner Zeitung (BZ), Max Trossmann (60), is leaving the title. He is taking early retirement to pursue his hobby of acting, the newspaper announced at the weekend. Trossmann has been responsible for production and design since December 1997 and has played a key role in shaping the paper as a member of the editorial board over the past few years. "As the editorial team has been reorganized, the function as such no longer exists," said Editor-in-Chief Michael Hug when asked by Werbewoche. Max Trossmann joined the newspaper industry as a typesetter and proofreader, later completing his A-levels and studies. He has worked for titles such as "Tages-Anzeiger", "Luzerner Neuste Nachrichten", "Schweizer Illustrierte", "Bilanz" and "Beobachter". He also lectures at the Media Training Center in Lucerne and is a member of the Swiss Press Council.
