Rolf Wirz is leaving the local newspaper *Volksstimme*.

Rolf Wirz, editor-in-chief of the Sissacher
local newspaper Volksstimme, moves to the Baselbieter
cantonal administration. As of February 1, 2006, Wirz will work in the
Public Relations/Media Service of the Basel-Landschaft Police Department
work. The head of the department as police spokesman is Meinrad
Stöcklin. Wirz will probably be elected as Stöcklin's deputy,
reports Onlinereports.ch. Wirz has worked for the
Volksstimme. In 1999 he became deputy editor-in-chief and since 2002

I wanted to do something else in local journalism," explained
Wirz told Onlinereports.ch. The succession at Volksstimme is
still open.
