Move to Tamedia: Martin A. Senn will become a member of the editorial boards of the Bund and Tages-Anzeiger and - if the papers merge - will perform a hinge function. Most recently, he was deputy editor-in-chief of NZZ am Sonntag. In addition, the 50-year-old Senn will also become head of a possible joint editorial office of the Bund, as Tamedia announced on Saturday. Martin A. Senn knows the conditions in Bern: He began his journalistic career at the Bund.
The fate of the Berner Bund is still up in the air. The media group Tamedia is currently examining several models to ensure the newspaper's survival. One envisages a cooperation between the Bund and the Tages-Anzeiger, another a merger with the Berner Zeitung. The long-awaited decision is to be made in the summer.
However, as Tamedia spokesperson Christoph Zimmer emphasized on Saturday at the request of SDA, Senn's appointment is by no means a preliminary decision in the direction of cooperation with the Tages-Anzeiger. If the Tamedia Board of Directors does not decide in favor of the cooperation model, Senn will continue to work as the head of the Federal House and a member of the Tagi editorial team.
If the cooperation model comes to fruition, Senn will play a pivotal role between Bern and Zurich. Recently, the Bund and Tages-Anzeiger have also repeatedly exchanged articles. Zimmer emphasized that this is not an indication of a preliminary decision. There had been departures at both papers recently. It made no sense to fill these vacancies before the future of the Bund had been clarified. That's why the exchange was an obvious choice. Zimmer described the fact that the cooperation model could be tested as a pleasant side effect.
