The editor-in-chief of the Geneva daily Tribune de Genève, Dominique von Burg (60), is giving up his post. He will only work for the local editorial office, the publishing house Edipresse announced on Monday. His successor is to be appointed within a reasonable period of time.
Von Burg has headed the editorial team since 2000 and will hand over the chief editor position before the redesign of the newspaper announced for this fall. The last facelift was carried out in November 2004. Von Burg had already stated at the time that this was the last major challenge he wanted to tackle as editor-in-chief.
The 60-year-old can look back on a long career as a journalist, reports the SDA news agency. It began at the Tribune de Genève and led him to French-speaking Swiss television in 1979, where he produced the program "Temps Présent" and was editor-in-chief of the Tagesschau.
