Christoph Schwennicke

Christoph Schwennicke (born March 20, 1966 in Bonn ) is a German journalist and has been editor-in-chief of the political magazine Cicero since 2012 . Since 2016 he has also been - together with Alexander Marguier - partner of Res Publica Verlag and publisher of Cicero and Monopol .

Life

Schwennicke grew up in Neu-Ulm . He attended the German School of Journalism in Munich and studied German , political science and journalism in Bamberg from 1987 to 1992 . After his diploma he worked for several daily newspapers and radio and from 1993 as editor, later Bonn correspondent, of the Badische Zeitung . In 1996 he moved to the Süddeutsche Zeitung , where he became a correspondent for the parliamentary editorial office in Bonn and then in London. From 2005 he headed the parliamentary editorial office in Berlin before moving to the news magazine Der Spiegel in October 2007 , where he was deputy head of the capital city office from 2010. Also in 2010 was his book Das Glück am Haken: The Eternal Dream of the Big Fish .

In May 2012 Schwennicke replaced Michael Naumann as editor-in-chief of the monthly magazine Cicero . At the time, Norbert Seitz described Schwennicke on Deutschlandfunk as a liberal who moved “beyond the well-known camp patterns and alarmist enemy images”. Schwennicke himself said that Cicero should "be like Joachim Gauck [...] left, liberal and conservative". In May 2016, Schwennicke and his deputy Alexander Marguier took over the titles Cicero and Monopol from the Swiss Ringier Group. Since then they have published both magazines under the umbrella of Res Publica Verlags GmbH. Since the refugee crisis in autumn 2015 , several journalists described Cicero's shift to the right . Jakob Augstein accused Schwennicke on Spiegel Online in February 2016 of spreading “ethnic propaganda”. In April 2017, Catalina Schröder stated in the journal Journalist that Schwennicke managed to "focus a large part of his texts and interviews on the Chancellor's refugee policy, which in his opinion was seriously unsuccessful". He often takes part in the Sunday television and radio debate Press Club .

Schwennicke is married and has one child.
