Tamedia wants to strengthen editorial innovation
The Tamedia media group aims to strengthen editorial innovation. To that end, it is establishing a new department called Digital Editorial Development. The department will launch on January 1, 2018.
As part of the new organization of the newspaper editorial offices from 2018, Tamedia is establishing the Digital Editorial Development department. This department will support all news platforms, daily and Sunday newspapers across all divisions in the development and application of new tools and editorial production processes. This was announced by Tamedia on Tuesday.
The new team would bring together and network the skills and talents that already exist in the editorial offices - particularly in the areas of digital storytelling, social networks, data journalism and video.
The team will develop, test and evaluate new formats and digital tools and, if successful, make them available to all editorial teams.
The Digital Editorial Development team will be attached to Ariane Dayer, Editor-in-Chief of the Tamedia editorial team in French-speaking Switzerland, and Arthur Rutishauser, Editor-in-Chief of the Tamedia editorial team in German-speaking Switzerland, and will be headed by Michael Marti, previously a member of the Tages-Anzeiger editorial team and Head of Digital Innovation.
