Die Weltwoche
[edit]In June 2001, Koppel became the chief editor of Die Weltwoche, which for years had been suffering from decline. Shortly after he accepted the post, Die Weltwoche was sold to investors affiliated with financier Tito Tettamanti of Ticino. Under the new investors, the traditional newspaper was transformed into a magazine format and the editorial team was largely replaced as some editors and journalists left in protest.
Koppel turned the left liberal Die Weltwoche to the right, which he denied at first.[3] The magazine now contained politically provocative, belligerent, even polemical articles and comments that defied the "left-liberal mainstream journalism" (Koeppel). Journalists at Die Weltwoche said Koppel would cause the sheet to a neoliberal and for targeted old editors replaced by related persons.[4] Koppel accused the other Swiss media, the SVP politician Christoph Blocher fundamentally opposed to face.[3] Prior to the 2003 parliamentary elections Koeppel pleaded expressly that Blocher belong to the Federal Council. He also praised the Swiss People's Party (SVP) than those Swiss party that most closely promise a successful bourgeois politics. The criticisms voiced in much of Europe and at Blocher's SVP criticism critics judged the EU Koeppel to be wrong. Blocher was not Le Pen or Haider, but "a fusion of Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan and Franz-Josef Strauss".[5]
Economically successful in the world week after several years of losses, a win for the first time (2003). Circulation rose at first and then fell still during Koppels office again.
