Bettina Bäumlisberger (born March 8, 1960 in Schönau (Odenwald) ) is a German journalist.

Career

Bäumlisberger was born in Schönau in the Odenwald and grew up in Ludwigshafen am Rhein . The daughter of a mechanic began to be interested in journalism at an early age. At the end of the 1970s she moved to Munich and studied economics and communication sciences at the Ludwig Maximilians University . After completing her studies, she initially worked as a freelance journalist for the Bayerische Gemeindezeitung , before starting a traineeship at Münchner Merkur in 1984 . In 1989 she worked as a political editor for the daily newspaper Die Welt . In 1992 Bäumlisberger was one of the founding editors of the news magazine FOCUS . Her journalistic activities there focused on Bavarian state politics as well as economic and social policy.

In 2010, the then Bavarian Minister for Economic Affairs of the FDP , Martin Zeil , brought her into state politics, where she became head of the press office and press spokeswoman in the Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs . After the FDP left the state parliament as a result of the election defeat in the state elections in 2013 , it left the permanent position to succeed editor-in-chief Karl Schermann , who was retiring, from January 2, 2014 at Münchner Merkur . After her strategy had been controversial within the editorial team for a long time, she left Merkur on March 31, 2016, as there were differences with the owner Dirk Ippen about her concept of cross-media online work, both the collaboration between print and online and the exchange of stories between Merkur and the sister paper tz . The editors feared above all the loss of the independence of Mercury compared to the tz.

On December 1, 2017, Bäumlisberger took over the management of the press office of the Caritas Association of the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising eV
