Migros Media, the media competence center of Limmatdruck, will have a new structure as of June 1, 2009. The previously independent publishing houses of Migros-Magazin and Saisonküche will be merged into a new publishing house. This is revealed in the annual report published on Tuesday. The new joint publishing house will be managed by Bernt Maulaz, while Reto Feurer will become the new Deputy Publishing Director. Hans Schneeberger, Editor-in-Chief of the Swiss-German Migros magazine, will also coordinate more between the media in order to promote cross-platform editorial solutions even more strongly.
The merger of the two publishing houses will lead to a reduction of 3.8 to 4.8 jobs. The entire Migros Media division employs 161 people in Zurich and Lausanne. Thanks to the merger, synergies can be exploited and flexibility increased, as Migros Media wrote on Tuesday. The reorganization takes account of the rapid developments in the media industry and at the Federation of Migros Cooperatives at an early stage. In addition to Migros Magazine and Saisonküche, Migros Media also includes corporate publishing and the entire online sector.
