New Editor-in-Chief for Dagens industri

“I am convinced that Lotta Edling will continue with great success to develop and consolidate Dagens industri’s unique position as Sweden’s top business newspaper,” says Tomas Franzén, board chair for Dagens industri. “During Peter Fellman’s leadership, Dagens industri has set the agenda for all business journalism, both on paper and digitally.”

Lotta Edling, who has been head of the news desk for Dagens industri since 2009, will take over as editor-in-chief from January 1, 2016. She has extensive experience as a journalist and editorial leader from business publications such as Affärsvärlden, Ekonomi24 and Veckans Affärer.

“I am very proud and happy to have the opportunity to lead Dagens industri into a new exciting era,” says Edling. “Dagens industri has a fantastic position. It’s an extremely strong brand and an important voice in Swedish trade and industry business. I look forward to strengthening this position even further together with our many talented employees, by developing and renewing our journalism and our offer to readers in all our channels.”

Says Peter Fellman: “I am pleased to hand the position over to Lotta and am confident that she will take Dagens industri forward to continued success. I am also proud that we have strengthened our position in business journalism on all of our platforms, particularly our conference and event business. Now I hope to realize a long-standing personal dream to work as a correspondent in New York and thus be able to contribute to Dagens industri’s future.”

Gunilla Herlitz, CEO of Dagens industri says: “I have worked closely with both Peter and Lotta for many years and know that this change guarantees continuity. The challenges are many, but Dagens industri has such a unique position among both readers and advertisers that the opportunities to continue to develop the newspaper’s content and accessibility are huge.”

Dagens industri is part of the business area Bonnier News along with Dagens Nyheter, Expressen, Sydsvenskan/Helsingborgs Dagblad and Bold Printing.
