Fritz+Fränzi: Nik Niethammer new editor-in-chief

The previous editorial director, Eveline von Arx, is moving on to new tasks within the Elternsein Foundation and will support the editorial team in an advisory capacity as a research assistant. With the recently completed relaunch, the Swiss parenting magazine Fritz+Fränzi has set the future direction of the parenting guide. At the same time, the Stiftung Elternsein foundation, publisher of Fritz+Fränzi, has given itself a new structure. The 52-year-old Nik Niethammer was previously program director of Tele Züri/Tele 24, editor-in-chief of information and magazines at Sat.1 in Berlin, editor-in-chief of Schweizer Illustrierte and editor-in-chief of Radio 1. Most recently, he worked as a freelance journalist and author. Nik Niethammer has two children aged three and five. With the newly created position of scientific advisor, ideally filled by Eveline von Arx, who holds a doctorate in educational science, Fritz+Fränzi is ensuring access to science and research.

Thomas Schlickenrieder, Managing Director of Stiftung Elternsein: "Eveline von Arx's contribution to the renewal of our magazine is enormous. We would like to thank her for her outstanding work and are delighted that she will continue to support us. Nik Niethammer has found the best conditions. We expect him to continue the resolute development of Fritz+Fränzi - also in the digital field. He is a renowned journalist and experienced editor, and we are proud to have him on board."
