Fabienne Sennhauser and Caroline Gebhard are the new heads of Impressum. The delegates' meeting of the professional association of journalists in Switzerland elected the deputy editor-in-chief of the "Zürichsee-Zeitung" and the journalist from "La Côte" as successors to Edgar Bloch, who is leaving the board.
In just over a decade, Switzerland has lost a third of its media professionals, and Impressum has lost numerous members in proportion to this, according to a press release issued by the professional association on Friday. This is also reflected in Impressum's finances.
The delegates adopted a resolution in support of the parliamentary initiative by Isabelle Chassot, a member of the Council of States from Fribourg. The support for the electronic media - including news agencies such as Keystone-SDA - demanded by the initiative must come quickly in order to avoid further crises such as the one the media sector is currently experiencing, according to Impressum.
