He is thereby responsible for the BILD brand's editorial position and manages, in particular, strategy, human resources as well as editorial processes at the intersection of print and digital. Allocating this decision-making function with Julian Reichelt ensures consistency in the management of the BILD brand after former BILD publisher Kai Diekmann has left the company.

Tanit Koch, 39, remains responsible for BILD's printed edition, holding the position of editor-in-chief since January 1st, 2016. Marion Horn, 51, also remains editor-in-chief of BILD am SONNTAG as before.

Also with immediate effect, Peter Huth, 47, editor-in-chief of B.Z. since 2008 and additionally deputy editor-in-chief of BILD since 2013, becomes editor-in-chief of WELT AM SONNTAG. In this role, Huth, along with Arne Teetz, 49, editor-in-chief of N24, and Oliver Michalsky, 53, editor-in-chief of WELT Digital, will report to Dr. Ulf Poschardt, 49, editor-in-chief of WeltN24. Miriam Krekel, 39, currently deputy editor-in-chief of B.Z., will succeed Peter Huth as editor-in-chief of B.Z.

Dr. Mathias Döpfner, CEO of Axel Springer SE: "BILD's success as a multimedia brand is fundamentally based on the conviction, that print and digital boldly present their individual strengths while at the same time working seamlessly integrated - both in terms of journalistic direction as well as regarding workflows. To ensure this, Julian Reichelt will take over the overall management in closely aligned cooperation with Tanit Koch, Marion Horn and Miriam Krekel. Marion Horn will continue her highly successful path, creating a passionate Sunday paper that is more than and different from a seventh edition of BILD. Tanit Koch will continue to position BILD as a leading publication in an engaged manner. Peter Huth has positioned B.Z. as a magnet for creative people and example of modern capital-city boulevard journalism. I thank him for that and wish him the same success for his new tasks at WELT AM SONNTAG. I am convinced that Miriam Krekel, when she returns from parental leave, will retain and further develop B.Z.'s special character."
