Eva‑Maria Bauch leaves Mediengruppe Oberfranken
Eva‑Maria Bauch, who became CEO and managing director of Mediengruppe Oberfranken three years ago, announced on LinkedIn that she left the company effective 30 June 2026. The regional publisher of the daily 'Fränkischer Tag' has been part of Mediengruppe Bayern since 2025 after an acquisition. The article links Bauch’s departure to the takeover by Mediengruppe Bayern and cites reports and union criticism that the new owner has centralized functions and closed departments — actions described by other publishers and by the Süddeutsche Zeitung as significant cost-cutting and job reductions. Bauch previously held leadership roles at Gruner+Jahr and Bauer Media Group and was Managing Director at Deloitte Digital from 2021–2023.
