At the beginning of next year, the most important editorial positions at the Walliser Boten will be filled. The 64-year-old editor-in-chief Pius Rieder will be succeeded by his brother Thomas Rieder, who is 13 years younger. Pius Rieder has headed the editorial team since 1984 together with his deputy Luzius Theler. Now both are stepping down. While Pius Rieder is retiring, 60-year-old Theler intends to devote himself fully to journalistic work from now on. His successor will be appointed at a later date. With the election of Thomas Rieder, the election committee wants to send a clear signal of consistency and continuity, the newspaper announced on Saturday. Thomas Rieder has been working for the Walliser Bote for 31 years and during this time has recommended himself for his future job in the Switzerland, Foreign Affairs, Sport and Region departments.
