Christoph Riess leaves WAN-IFRA

Christoph Riess, the CEO of the World Association of Newspapers and News Publishers (WAN-IFRA), has left the organization. Reiss was appointed as CEO in February 2010 following the merger of the World Association of Newspapers with the research and technology organization IFRA.

The WAN-IFRA board of directors is in the process of looking for a replacement. In the interim, three deputy CEOs—Manfred Werfel, Larry Kilman and Thomas Jacob—will serve as the executive management.
