The office chair in the editor-in-chief of the Mirror is a kind of ejection seat every few years, and now it has ejected the next one: Editor-in-Chief Steffen Klusmann is leaving. Apparently by “mutual agreement”. That’s what he announced Mirror officially on Thursday, after the editorial team had been puzzling over how to proceed since Wednesday afternoon. “We have achieved a great deal together. Recently, however, the management and I have all too often failed to reach agreement on crucial strategic issues – which has now resulted in my resignation,” the retiring editor-in-chief is quoted as saying in the publisher’s statement. A successor is also ready: Dirk Kurbjuweit is to follow Klusmann.
