Editor-in-Chief Rochade in the Blick Group
For one week, *Blick*’s editors-in-chief—René Lüchinger, Christine Maier, Rüdi Steiner, Peter Röthlisberger, and Felix Bingesser—will swap roles. The experiment is intended to foster mutual understanding.
As the Tages-Anzeiger blog "Off the Record" writes, the castling will start on October 19 after the elections. Ringier denies the assumption that this could be a test of convergence qualities. Rather, it is about "improving cooperation and understanding of the respective needs.
In addition, a Blick desk manager is currently being sought. In the future, the Blick desk will supply all channels with content. The desk manager's influence will be correspondingly great, while the aforementioned editors-in-chief will "only lead small teams of authors for brand management," according to the article. Candidates for the post are said to be Peter Röthlisberger, Rüdi Steiner and Andreas Dietrich. (hae)
