New settings will give the more than 400 million Facebook users full control over who exactly can see the information and content they share.
In addition, new setting options will be added to make it easier to deactivate external applications and third-party websites. Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg personally presents the changes in a YouTube video.

He will take up the newly created position at the NZZ Media Group at the beginning of August, as detailed in a press release issued on Thursday. Peter Hogenkamp will already be working on a mandate basis from June.
Peter Hogenkamp will continue to pursue the NZZ Media Group's online strategy together with the editorial and publishing teams of NZZ Online and NZZnetz. Since the beginning of the year, the NZZ Media Group has reorganized its online business across the entire group and centralized the division in Zurich. The Head of Digital Media reports directly to the CEO. The new division comprises business development, online editorial offices, online sections and NZZnetz. The Group's news portals are combined under NZZnetz. The core is NZZ.ch, which is currently being redesigned for this purpose.
Hogenkamp studied information management at the University of St. Gallen and completed his doctorate on the subject of usability. Since then, the German, who has lived in Switzerland for 20 years, has worked almost exclusively as an entrepreneur. In 2000, he co-founded Zeix, an agency for usability and user education.

At the same time as the expansion of the creative network, the Condor Commercials website is being given a new look. At the same time, the website of the entire company is also being revised and will be relaunched in summer 2010 when the renovation of the former picture studio is completed.

The Board of Directors of Swiss Printers has appointed Alfred Wälti as the company's new Managing Director. The 52-year-old prevailed against competitors from Switzerland and abroad in a selection process lasting several months, as the company writes in a press release on Thursday. Wälti joined Ringier Print Zofingen in February 2000 as Head of HR. Since the beginning of 2006, he has been Head of Management Services, responsible for HR, Controlling, Procurement and Services. He was actively involved in shaping the new orientation and corporate structure of the Swissprinters Group from the very beginning.
Swiss Printers, with over 1,000 employees, is a subsidiary of the Ringier, NZZ and Edipresse media companies and unites four printing plants: Ringier Print Zofingen, Zollikofer St. Gallen, NZZ Fretz Schlieren and Imprimeries Réunies Lausanne.

Stark is taking over from Bernd Merkel, who is strengthening the management of the Maz diploma program. The 40-year-old has worked as an editor for Cash and the Basler Zeitung, among others, as the Maz School of Journalism announced on Wednesday, according to SDA. For seven years, she reported from Moscow as a correspondent for newspapers and agencies in Switzerland and Germany - including the SDA news agency.
Stark studied political science at the University of St. Gallen, after which she graduated from the Ringier School of Journalism. She is currently completing a master's degree in "New Media Journalism".

First the facts: According to the publishers, Mini-Werbig is a "monthly advertising magazine that is distributed 100,000 copies in the center of Zurich". It offers customers quality at reasonable prices, they say. So far so good, more or less. But now let's take a closer look: On the front page, a young blonde lady greets us: "With this first issue of Mini-Werbig, we are taking a step towards the future together. We wish you every success and welcome you. Grüetzi", it says. If we then leaf through the magazine, we come across all sorts of funny things. For example, a pain-relieving cream called Orjin Krem is advertised - "the human body can produce a wide range of pains", it says. There are several ways to relieve all these pains, "including our excellent product Orjin Cream, which is made from natural ingredients." Incidentally, the cream contains no chemicals, alcohol or drugs, just to be clear. And anyone interested in the miracle product has to dial a cell phone number. After (the only) editorial article about vacations (worth a read), there is a two-page advertisement - Merve Dönerproduktion AG advertises a kebab "with the best quality, safe hygiene and good taste" - the meat pictured is not necessarily appetizing.
After further advertisements, for example for a furniture store, which according to the address is located directly next to Mini Werbig's domicile, or for "Akman Kredit - Wir erfüllen Ihre Träume" (Akman Credit - We fulfill your dreams), there is an advertisement for an ominous "project advertisement", behind which the same people are behind Mini Werbig (and also distribute it): "We are your reliable and flexible partner for flyer distribution.". The "distribution areas" are listed at the bottom: In addition to Zurich City, Fluntern, Albisrieden, Schwamendingen & Co, "Fiesenberg" is also included. The whole thing is kind of nasty - so nasty that it almost hurts. It remains to be seen how long Mini Werbig will survive. Of course, we wish the publishers all the best. And perhaps the publication will one day develop into a cult object - the potential is there.

The CEO of SFLB succeeds Euro RSCG Zurich CEO Frank Bodin, who chaired the association for three years. Nadine Borter, owner and Managing Director of Contexta, was elected Vice President. The previous board members were confirmed by the general meeting. The Board was elected for a two-year term of office.

The campaign focuses on self-confident teenagers who are at the beginning of their adult lives. Their wishes and dreams, which they associate with this new stage in their lives, are depicted in a personal network of thoughts. According to the agency, the Valiant-lila cube is intended to symbolize the banking relationship as the cornerstone for a successful life and as a prerequisite for achieving all the components contained in the network. The campaign: "Get into life." was launched using posters, advertisements, banners and screensavers. The campaign aims to promote the online youth platform V4teens.ch to make them known.
Maxomedia has been implementing campaigns in the youth segment for Valiant since 2007 and is responsible for the conception and realization of all measures.

With the print campaign, Contexta is strengthening Grächen's positioning as the leading family holiday resort in the Valais, writes the agency in a statement. Grächen - a fairy tale: This is the promise that is made to the big and small vacation guests.

Leica cameras have always stood for the best image quality, according to a statement from the agency. Photographers who use them don't just snap a few pictures, but look closely to compose interesting images. The new image radio spots from Advico Young & Rubicam are aimed at photographers with such a discerning attitude. In the spots, photographs are described with particular accuracy, from their composition down to the smallest details, only to then state quite naturally that such rich images are only possible with a Leica camera.

The opening festivities on the second weekend in May were celebrated in grand style and with many attractions for young and old, as the agency writes in a press release. A fairground with merry-go-rounds, a chain ride, mini train and food stalls was operated. Over 10,000 free tickets were redeemed. There were face painting and bubble workshops for children and an original "duck", a 1975 Citröen 2CV, for adults to win. The center was also decorated with foil balloons specially designed for the opening in the look of the Shoppyland duck. The 13,000 balloons were also distributed as give-aways.
