Reorganization at Top Medien - Karin El Mais becomes "trimedial" Editor-in-Chief
For the end of August, the eastern Swiss media Radio Top, Tele Top and Top Online announce new organizational, working and broadcasting structures. Karin El Mais becomes editor-in-chief of the trimedial editorial team.
Among other things, the still separate departments will be merged to form the two trimedial editorial teams "Information" and "Entertainment" and supported by a new topic planning unit. In addition, the training and continuing education of aspiring journalists will be strengthened.
With the reorganization, certain functions will be eliminated, while others will be strengthened. For example, the two chief editorial positions at Tele Top and Radio Top will be eliminated. The new trimedial editorial departments "Information" and "Entertainment" will each be given a co-head and, together with topic planning and training and development, will be placed centrally under a chief editor.
Karin EI Mais becomes Editor-in-Chief of Top Media
"For this key position, Karin EI Mais brings with her proven experience in the field of electronic media the best prerequisites," says Top Managing Director Philippe Pfiffner. Jasmin Barbiero and Stefano Bollmann will share the "Entertainment" specialist management. The "Information" department is also headed by two people. It has not yet been decided who will take over this role alongside Patrick Walther, as Ljilja Mucibabic has decided to leave the company at the end of August 2022 to seek a new professional challenge.
Katrin Germann in new function for education and training
Katrin Germann will take over the newly created function of "Head of QA/Outreach and Training". She will continue to serve the audience as a presenter. All co-presenters will continue to work on a part-time basis as journalists in the program. Personnel changes and additions to the new topic planning position will be communicated at a later date.
The TOP media want to focus even more on their strengths, in line with the motto "Regional. Fast. Competent." For Philippe Pfiffner, Managing Director of Top Medien, it is important to further increase quality: "Our goal is to strengthen regional reporting in the TOP broadcasting area and to create an organization that is also optimally equipped to meet the challenges of the future. In addition, we are streamlining our programming and want to invest even more in the training and continuing education of young journalists."
