Following the relaunch of Sonntagsblick and its magazine, everything at Blick is now also set to change: On March 5, 2008, the tabloid will be published with a new layout and new content. The scope will be expanded and early delivery in the conurbations will be examined.
As part of the relaunch, the cartoonist Nico also has to go, as reported by Persönlich.com. His style does not suit the new Blick, Blick editor-in-chief Bernhard Weissberg told Werbewoche. Nico, who used to draw for the Tages-Anzeiger, will remain with Blick until the end of February.
