T-Online continues to downsize

Content management The online portal T-Online.ch is cutting more jobs.Matthias Gartenmann, CEO of T-Online Switzerland, has confirmed on request that the Swiss offshoot of T-Online will cut more jobs. The editorial team is to be trimmed back from around ten jobs at present to three. Gartenmann would not confirm this figure and referred to the press office in Germany. However, no statement was available there by the editorial deadline. Some time ago, the former 20-strong Swiss editorial team had already been reduced by half. In the meantime, Swiss content on T-Online.ch is thin on the ground, which is why Gartenmann spoke of a "header concept" that would exploit synergies in terms of content. In mid-May, there had already been speculation about the closure of T-Online Schweiz, which had been founded in 2000. One reason for the possible closure is likely to be the small volume in the Swiss online advertising market.
