Leading German news weekly Der Spiegel has moved to sack two editors over their opposition to the introduction of paid for online content. The Hamburg based magazine sacked joint editors Georg Mascolo and Mathias Muller von Blumencron after they refused to implement the strategy devised by the publisher. This saw the pair tasked with merging the firms print and digital operations but personal differences between the two saw Mascolo take the helm of the magazine and Blumencron head up the website.
