Daniel Steil is drawn to the Bild newspaper
Daniel Steil, the interim editor-in-chief of *Heute*, is reportedly moving to *Bild*. According to the German industry news service Kress.de, he will take on the key role of entertainment editor at the German tabloid.
The interim editor-in-chief of Heute, Daniel Steil, is apparently moving to the Bild newspaper. Based on insider information, the German industry service Kress.de reports that he will take on the important position of head of entertainment at the German tabloid.
Steil is already familiar with Bild: he previously worked as a freelancer for Germany's largest newspaper and was a trainee at the Axel Springer School of Journalism. He has also held the role of Head of Entertainment at the Ringier newspaper Blick. He then moved to Abendblatt Heute as deputy editor-in-chief and took over as interim editor-in-chief when his predecessor Bernhard Weissberg was appointed head of Blick. However, Ringier recently announced that Steil will not be part of Blick am Abend, which is replacing Heute.
At the time, it was still said that Steil was in talks about a new job at Ringier. This now appears to be different. However, the publisher of Bild, Axel Springer, does not want to comment on this: "We do not comment on personnel speculation," said spokesman Tobias Fröhlich when asked by Werbewoche.
