Olaf Streubig Appointed as Press Spokesperson for Hesse's Minister of Agriculture

Olaf Streubig, a political scientist and experienced media professional, will take on the role of press spokesperson for Hesse's Minister of Agriculture, Ingmar Jung (CDU), commencing in April. Streubig is moving from the "Wiesbadener Kurier," where he has served as editor-in-chief since 2021.

Born and raised in Hesse's state capital, Streubig has a rich background in journalism. Before his traineeship, he was already active as a journalist. He joined the VRM media company in 2013 and has held various management positions since then.

In his role at the "Wiesbadener Kurier," Streubig oversaw west Hessian daily newspapers and their digital transformation within the VRM media company. During his tenure, he played a significant role in shaping the newspaper's direction and adapting it to the digital age.

Streubig's predecessor, Christoph Zörb (55), had been acting as press spokesperson since January but will no longer be in this role as of April. The reasons for Zörb's departure are not disclosed.

It is worth noting that Streubig's political background or party affiliation is not publicly known at this time. This article does not contain any new facts not already mentioned in the previous bullet points.

As Streubig steps into his new role, he will head the Press and Public Relations department in the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment. This move marks a significant shift in his career, but one that he seems well-prepared for, given his extensive experience in media management.

The change is set to take effect in April, and it remains to be seen how Streubig's leadership will shape the communication strategy of Hesse's Ministry of Agriculture and Environment.
