20 Minutes: New editorial management
The 20 Minuten media group is spreading editorial responsibility across more people and establishing a new editorial leadership team. This team reports directly to the editorial board and includes Desirée Pomper, Lorenz Hanselmann, and Stefan Ryser.
The editorial board of 20 Minuten will continue to consist of editor-in-chief Marco Boselli, his deputy Gaudenz Looser and Marcel Zulauf. The main task of the new editorial management is to supplement, support and relieve the editor-in-chief in day-to-day business, but also to ensure compliance with the guidelines laid down by the editor-in-chief. It will also support the editorial team in strategic or content-related discussions.
Desirée Pomper studied international relations in Geneva and has worked in the Domestic & Politics department of 20 Minuten since 2009; she has been head of the department since 2012. In 2014, she continued her education at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism in New York. Lorenz Hanselmann studied media and communication sciences in Fribourg and started as a reporter at 20 Minuten Bern in 2006, becoming head reporter from 2013 to 2014. After a stint at Storyfilter.com, he returned to 20 Minuten in 2015 as a page editor. After working in advertising, Stefan Ryser co-launched the commuter newspaper News as production manager in 2007 and was then production manager and page maker at 20 Minuten Friday before returning to news journalism as online page maker in 2012. He has been Creative Director of 20 Minuten since 2014.
Editor-in-chief Marco Boselli has been appointed Head of Journalism and Processes Commuter Media by Tamedia at the end of the year. In his new function as Head of Journalism and Processes Commuter Media, he will be responsible for the editorial concepts and processes of all Tamedia commuter media in Switzerland and abroad as well as the entire branding and marketing of 20 Minuten, 20 minutes, Friday and Tilllate. In addition to these tasks, Marco Boselli will remain Editor-in-Chief of 20 Minuten, Friday and Tilllate.
Marco Boselli said in a press release: "This reorganization was made necessary by the new tasks I have to take on, but also by the conviction that the responsibility for the content of the demanding and successful 7/24 operation of 20 Minuten needs to be distributed among more people. I would like to congratulate Desirée, Stefan and Lorenz on their promotion and look forward to working even more closely with them."
