Blick's politics department receives dual leadership
Sven Altermatt and Lucien Fluri will become the new co-heads of the Blick politics desk. The two Solothurn natives will take over in November from Sermîn Faki and her deputy, Pascal Tischhauser, who have both decided to leave Ringier.
Altermatt and Fluri have been Co-Editors-in-Chief of the Solothurn newspaper, of the Oltner Tagblatt and of the Grenchner Tagblatt (Werbewoche.ch reported). Previously, they worked as editors for the Swiss media newspapers.
The 40-year-old Lucien Fluri studied history and Latin philology, completed the Swiss School of Journalism Maz and an investigative course at the Columbia Journalism School in New York. He was awarded the Aargau/Solothurn Media Prize in 2015 for his research into irregularities in the awarding of state contracts.
Sven Altermatt, 30, completed an apprenticeship as a mediamatician with a vocational baccalaureate and also attended the Maz School of Journalism in Lucerne. Among other things, he received the Swiss Press Award in 2018 for research on the militia system and is a board member of the Investigativ.ch research network.
