Christian Lindner (born 20 September 1959) is a German journalist. From 2004 to 2017, he was chief editor of the Rhein-Zeitung.
Lindner was born on 20 September 1959[1] in Kaufbeuren, Bavaria, Germany. After his Abitur at the Freiherr-vom-Stein-Gymnasium (Betzdorf/Kirchen), he completed a Volontariat at the Rhein-Zeitung.[1] He then went through several positions in the local editions and in the central editorial office of this newspaper. From 1992 to 1998, Lindner was the local manager of the Rhein-Zeitung's edition Westerwälder Zeitung. In 1997, he became deputy chief editor and since 2004, he has been chief editor of the Rhein-Zeitung. The alleged reason given was the orientation of the Rhein-Zeitung on the Internet.[1] Lindner became deputy chief editor at Bild am Sonntag on 1 April 2018.[2] In a tweet from 18 July 2019, Lindner announced that he would leave Bild am Sonntag, but remain true to journalism.[3]
