A new face at the "heute-journal": Anne Gellinek will moderate the news program from time to time.
In addition, the 60-year-old takes over the post as the new ZDF editor-in-chief.
Today she will greet the viewers for the first time, the broadcaster said.
On the following three days she will also present the »heute-journal« together with Gundula Gause.
On October 1, Gellinek will succeed Bettina Schausten as chief editor for news and deputy editor-in-chief of ZDF.
Schausten becomes editor-in-chief and succeeds Peter Frey, who is retiring.
