Top of the week: SonntagsZeitung focuses on investigative journalism
The SonntagsZeitung is expanding its resources in the field of investigative journalism and establishing a new investigative desk.
Martin Stoll will take over the management. The 47-year-old has been working for the SonntagsZeitung since 1995 and has been deputy head of the news department since June 2008. Stoll will continue to perform his previous function in addition to his new role, as Tamedia announced this week. He is a graduate of the Swiss School of Journalism MAZ and was awarded the Zurich Journalism Prize in 2009 for his research into the "Nef case". From October 1, 2010, Oliver Zihlmann will head the news department of SonntagsZeitung. He takes over from Simon Bärtschi, who has been appointed deputy editor-in-chief. At the end of the 1990s, 38-year-old Zihlmann was already working for various departments of the SonntagsZeitung and spent five years as a permanent contributor from Berlin before the doctor of history and mathematics returned to Fokus-Bund in 2007. Two additional editors, Guido Schätti and Nicole Kircher, have joined the business section.
