Miriam Meckel is to become the first female editor-in-chief of Wirtschaftswoche, the prestigious business weekly. When she takes on her new job in October 2014, she will be changing sides: she is currently director of the Institute for Media and Communications Management at the University of St. Gallen. The communications specialist worked as a journalist at the beginning of her career and switched to politics for a time after a period as a professor in Münster. She has became well-known in German-speaking countries through her publications on the power of computers and the impact of globalisation.
