Sunday View: Christine Maier hands over management

Christine Maier had taken over the management of Sonntagsblick as of November 1, 2013 (Werbewoche.ch reported). A modern appearance and stronger positioning in the family sector were essential elements of the new Sonntagsblick, for which Maier was responsible. The magazine was also overhauled from the ground up. It has now successfully transferred the editorial team to the new organizational structure of the Blick Group newsroom, which was launched in February. According to the statement, this process is now complete and therefore, at her own request, the journalist will devote herself internally to the new projects from the beginning of May.

She will take on various tasks in the area of moving images, conduct moderator coaching and conceptualize a discussion platform for Ringier, which will also include a new talk event that will take place on a regular basis.

Ringier CEO Marc Walder on the internal change: "Christine Maier has driven the modernization of Sonntagsblick over the past two and a half years and repositioned the newspaper - the timing to now focus on new, topical projects is ideal following the transfer to the modern newsroom structure. I am delighted that Christine Maier is now taking on new projects at Ringier." Philippe Pfister, Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Sonntagsblick, will take over on an interim basis from May.
