Lyon-based European news channel Euronews’ shareholders have appointed Paolo Garimberti, current Chairman of RAI, as the new Chairman of the Supervisory Board and former MD Michael Peters, 40, as the new CEO.
Former CEO Philippe Cayla has been appointed Chairman of Euronews Development and member of the Supervisory Board of Euronews. The new subsidiary Euronews Development will provide Euronews SA with media business development services.
Under Michael Peters’s leadership, Euronews will target to “rethink its model” and format to better fight the emergence of new media and content hyper-choice.
“We need to get the good content at the right place and at the right moment”, Peters explains, with the objective of transforming Euronews into a hub for European and international news. The channel will be no more just a TV broadcaster but a news brand on itself. The new boss wants the channel to provide contents independently from the TV feed.
Euronews is soon expected to create a new express application as well as a radio station.
Euronews’ 400 journalists provide eleven news editions into eleven different languages to 10 million viewers each day worldwide.
