Media Market: Tages-Anzeiger's 'Der Morgen' Newsletter Now Led by Editors

Zusammenfassung des Signals

The Tages-Anzeiger, a Swiss daily newspaper, has restructured the production of its morning newsletter 'Der Morgen'. Starting Tuesday, the editorial leadership team, including Editor-in-Chief Raphaela Birrer and her deputy Matthias Chapman, will write the newsletter. This change follows personnel shifts in the previous newsletter team, leading to the dissolution of the dedicated team. Two of the five former authors, Edgar Schuler and Deborah Bischof, are leaving Tamedia, the parent company. The other three remain in different roles. Tamedia spokesperson Edi Estermann emphasized this is not a cost-cutting measure but an efficiency improvement to better align the newsletter with newsroom operations. The newsletter, launched in November 2016, has a subscriber base in the mid-six-figure range.
