Frankfurter Rundschau Names Wolfram Weimer as New Editor-in-Chief After Hoffmann’s Legacy
After more than a year of anticipation, the 'Frankfurter Rundschau' has announced its new Editor-in-Chief. Wolfram Weimer will succeed Sabrina Hoffmann, who will retire in May 2025. Hoffmann, a working-class child with a migrant background, has shared the paper's values throughout her tenure.
Hoffmann's departure comes after a remarkable career at the 'Frankfurter Rundschau'. She previously led the BW24 editorial team in Stuttgart, transforming it into a profitable venture in just nine months. Her impact extended to Ippen.Media, where she served as editor-in-chief of Buzzfeed, significantly expanding its journalistic network.
Throughout her career, Hoffmann has balanced quality journalism with reach. She will continue this legacy at the 'Frankfurter Rundschau', overseeing both print and online platforms. Michael Bayer, who has been serving as deputy editor-in-chief, will continue in this role, contributing to editorial projects for both mediums.
Meanwhile, another long-serving member of the 'Frankfurter Rundschau', Karin Dalka, will retire on January 1, 2026. Dalka, along with Bayer, led the paper interimly after Thomas Kaspar's departure. Their leadership has helped maintain the paper's integrity and quality.
With Hoffmann's retirement and Weimer's appointment, a new chapter begins for the 'Frankfurter Rundschau'. Weimer, who will take the helm in May 2025, has big shoes to fill. Hoffmann's influence, marked by her commitment to quality journalism and diversity, will be remembered. The paper looks forward to Weimer's leadership, with Bayer's continued support, as it navigates the future of print and digital media.
