The fact that someone from the Ringier executive board has been appointed directly to the top spheres of the NZZ, i.e. to editor-in-chief, is a first. Without getting lost in superlatives, this change is very explosive, surprised reactions on Thursday evening and made people forget for a moment the pandemic, Meghan and Harry and even the protesting Tagi journalists. The announcement was actually supposed to be made ceremoniously by Ringier and the NZZ on Friday morning, but due to an indiscretion it was already distributed the evening before by CH Media, which, ironically, is half owned by the NZZ group ( persoenlich.com reported ).
This is exactly what they wanted to avoid, memories of the failed hiring of Markus Somm as NZZ editor-in-chief six years ago are still too vivid. But this only speaks for the explosive nature australia rcs data of the news, it was probably too spectacular for the insiders in our gossipy industry to keep secret. But since even Federal Council decisions are now covered in our media before the Federal Council meeting, we should generously overlook the information leak in this case.
The change is spectacular for two reasons: Firstly, it has only been a little over a year since Jonas Projer started as editor-in-chief at Blick TV. The station is therefore still in the start-up phase. Together with presenter Reto Scherrer, who also came from SRG, the prominent ex-"Arena" presenter was the figurehead of Blick TV and regularly appeared in front of the camera in his usual professional manner - most recently last Sunday after the federal votes. He has not lost the "Arena-suitable" label even after his departure from Leutschenbach.
