Media: Funke introduces new management level for regional newspapers
Power dynamics are shifting at Funke: new publishers are supposed to control editorial offices and digital business in the future. For the chief editors, this means a new leadership structure.
Funke Mediengruppe is restructuring its regional newspapers by introducing "publisher" positions at five locations, effective January 1, 2027. These publishers will oversee both editorial and economic responsibilities for digital development. The new structure aims to accelerate digital growth and shorten decision-making processes.
Anne Krum, Cordula Schmitz, Nils Kawig, Kerstin Loehr, and Anne Lena Mösken will take on the publisher roles in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Hamburg, Thüringen, Niedersachsen, and Berlin, respectively. Carsten Groß will continue to oversee digital publishing as Geschäftsführer Digital Publishing.
