Neue Zürcher Zeitung editorial leadership change

Overview

Mark Dittli has been appointed as the new editor-in-chief of the Neue Zürcher Zeitung (NZZ), effective February 1, 2027. He will succeed Eric Gujer, who is transitioning to a newly created role as Publisher for Germany after twelve years in the top editorial position.

Dittli, an external candidate with extensive experience in economic and financial journalism, previously served as the managing director and editor of ‘The Market’ and held roles at Finanz und Wirtschaft and Republik. The NZZ Board of Directors selected Dittli to address fundamental shifts in journalism driven by artificial intelligence and changing consumer habits.

Isabelle Welton, President of the NZZ Board of Directors, noted that Dittli represents “analytical, independent journalism with a clear liberal stance.” The leadership transition aims to leverage new technologies to maintain quality journalism within a rapidly evolving media environment.
