Tamedia: Ignaz Staub succeeds Arthur Liener as ombudsman
Arthur Liener, Tamedia’s ombudsman, has decided to step down from his position in the spring of 2010 after ten years. Ignaz Staub, a longtime editor at the *Tages-Anzeiger*, will become Tamedia’s new ombudsman.
Tamedia's Board of Directors first elected Liener, a physicist and former Chief of Staff of the Swiss Army, to the newly created position of ombudsman in 1998 and has confirmed his appointment several times since then. As Swiss-press.com writes, Liener will now relinquish his office in spring 2010. He will be replaced by the long-standing Tages-Anzeiger editor Ignaz Staub. The independent ombudsman's office accepts complaints about the editorial content of all Tamedia media.
Staub began his career in journalism as a freelance sports reporter for Swiss radio and television before joining the Tages-Anzeiger in 1987 after working for Weltwoche and Schweizer Illustrierte. During his more than twenty years at the Tages-Anzeiger, the distinguished writer was head of the foreign department and reported as a correspondent from the Middle East and the United States of America.
