Thomas Estermann leaves Das Magazin
Thomas Estermann, publishing director of *Das Magazin*, has decided to take on a new challenge and leave the magazine at the end of February 2014.
The 45-year-old has been in this position since 2008 and, according to the press release, has made a significant contribution to the positive development of the weekend supplement of Basler Zeitung, BZ Berner Zeitung, Der Bund and Tages-Anzeiger during this time. The magazine has expanded its position in the advertising market over the past six years and has recorded rising readership figures, thanks in part to the new title Der Bund. Together with Editor-in-Chief Finn Canonica, Thomas Estermann also launched the special editions "Das Magazin et cetera".
Thomas Estermann already worked for the Tamedia media group from 1999 to 2007. He spent the first five years at Tagblatt der Stadt Zürich and Zürich Express, before joining the news magazine Facts in 2004 and taking over as its advertising manager in 2006.
