Tagi: Job cuts also affect Winterthur editorial team
The job cuts at the Tagesanzeiger also affect the editorial office in Winterthur. Three editors have to leave and the Winterthur office is being closed.
The job cuts at the Tagesanzeiger have also affected the editorial team in Winterthur. The two long-standing editors Martin Gmür and Jürg Schmid have been made redundant "for economic reasons". The 53-year-old Gmür has been reporting on the city for over ten years, while the 58-year-old Schmid has been working in regional reporting for almost 20 years, according to an article in the Landbote. The 50-year-old Roger Keller, who set up the Winterthur editorial office in the 1990s, was also made redundant.
Only René Donzé, who is a lot younger and has been with the newspaper for a shorter time, will be allowed to stay, but will have to move his workplace to Zurich until further notice. However, the Tagi has no intention of withdrawing from Winterthur. Reductions will be made in all departments. "We still have some journalists with the necessary know-how about Winterthur in the Zurich editorial team," Edgar Schuler, the head of the department responsible, told the newspaper.
