Culture chief at Magda Gad's new newspaper Gad, Edgar Mannheimer, announces that he is leaving, writes Journalisten.

I am extremely proud of everything we have done and everything we have achieved, but I do not feel that I am the right person to lead this work, as culture manager. I think another person would be better in that position, he says to the newspaper.

Magda Gad presented the newspaper in the summer, with an editorial staff consisting of herself in the position of editor-in-chief, Alexandra Urisman Otto as editorial manager and Edgar Mannheimer as culture manager. The plan was to have a site in place in October.

But also Alexandra Urisman Otto – who resigned from her job as climate reporter at Dagens Nyheter to work at Gad – left the project in August for private reasons.

In August, Magda Gad wrote to Journalisten that a new editorial manager would be recruited: "No change in the schedule, we launch in October."

Edgar Mannheimer says to the newspaper that he is not aware if any new people have been added to the editorial staff since then.
