There is a change in the editor-in-chief of the “Bild” newspaper.
A trio becomes a duo.
Johannes Boie remains chief editor, he is joined by Robert Schneider, editor-in-chief of “Bild”, who is currently in charge of the Burda magazine “Focus”.
Schneider will report to Boie, who is said to have fetched him.
The two in turn report to the CEO Mathias Döpfner.
Alexandra Würzbach, editor-in-chief of "Bild am Sonntag" and Claus Strunz, head of "Bild Live" - according to speculation - are eliminated.
A spokesman said on request that they do not comment on personnel speculation.

This is a cut that you could almost expect after the past few days.
"Bild" has almost closed its TV branch "Bild TV", live reporting is almost completely stopped, 80 employees lose their jobs.
"Bild TV" was a hobby of the former editor-in-chief Julian Reichelt, who presented himself there in the role of the people's tribune, as he now appears on his YouTube channel "Achtung, Reichelt!".
"Bild TV" started in August 2021, a few weeks later Reichelt lost his job because of "abuse of power".
He was replaced by Johannes Boie, who is not a trained tabloid man, but a culture journalist.
He was supposed to ensure a significantly different working atmosphere, which he reportedly succeeded in doing.
As a man for the rough he did not recommend himself, the part could now fall to Robert Schneider, whose career began at Springer.
He was with "Bild", BZ and "Bild am Sonntag", in 2011 he went to Burda's "Superillu" as editor-in-chief and then in 2016 to "Focus".
With the rumored departure of Alexandra Würzbach and Claus Strunz, however, two careers at Springer that began decades ago and brought them to leading positions came to an end.
