The new SRG Director General faces numerous challenges. "Standing still is not an option," said Wille on Saturday after her appointment. The challenges for the future are there, but she also sees many opportunities.
She will want to listen and understand, Wille explained. The SRG company will change. She will bring all her experience to her new role and open up new perspectives.
The independence of SRG is important to Wille. In times of fake news and disinformation, a clear compass is needed, said the long-standing political journalist. "Without careful journalism, there can be no strong democracy," said Wille.
Private media providers are just as important as a strong public media service. Wille wants to engage in dialog with them. It is about working together, not against each other. Wille also acknowledged the "Idée Suisse". As a German-speaking Swiss, she will take care of the different linguistic and cultural areas in the country, she emphasized.
Wille will take up her new role as SRG Director General on November 1, 2024.
