It is the week of decisions, even in the case of the SRG. On Tuesday, the employees of the radio studios know in Bern, finally, how it is going on with them. Since one and a half years, it is known that the SRG wants to relocate the Studio to Zurich. However, the new SRF-Director of the Nathalie Wappler has corrected the plans in the summer of 2019. It should now be 70 moved, affected SRF 4 News and the newsroom. Together with the online area will probably be moved also, and a part of the editor-in-chief, it would be between 70 and 90.
Originally, should be laid against 180 Points, but this was before the austerity program. What has been said by Nathalie Wappler: The flagship programmes such as “Echo of time” and “rendezvous” are to remain in Bern.
“It is important to be able to answer your questions”
On Tuesday, the Executive Board approves the audio strategy that has been developed in the past few months. On the same day, the employee will be informed, and the next day Nathalie Wappler traveling to Bern, to meet the staff and answer questions. Some employees believe, therefore, that there would be drastic Decisions. It is as many as possible should come to the information event, say it in the invitation, signed by the editor-in-chief under, “because it is important to be able to answer your questions”.
it is Feared that the location of Bern could fall behind. The SRG will redirect to in the coming years, resources in the digital production until 2024, half of the money will flow there. And the centre will be the multi-media production facility in leutschenbach. “We fear that we are suspended on the sidings land, and saved to death”, says an employee. If the SRG is committed to the production site Bern, she would have to let the departments that it considers as promising for the future, in Bern, and invest there.
The employee’s participation is nothing more than an “Alibi Exercise” have been. Jérôme Hayoz from the syndicate of Swiss Media artist (SSM).
For displeasure, the staff also provides-participation in the audio strategy. A half-dozen working groups were formed for about 30 employees in Bern have involved, for example, in the groups of “concept of operation” or “digital Audio”. But to start with, nothing happens, finally, a few meetings had taken place, where besides Brainstorming and inventory nothing happened. What is the group leader and the editor-in-chief made the end result, heard the Parties, the final reports you have not seen.
The staff-participation is nothing more than an “Alibi Exercise” have been, says Jérôme Hayoz from the syndicate of Swiss Media artist (SSM). The Exercise had the single purpose to keep up appearances, while in this time, other people made the decisions. Of the employees, no one likes a comment with the name. No wonder, because last week they were informed that publicly expressed criticism will not be appreciated. The SRF staff should also distribute any critical article in the Social Media channels like or more. The Directive had come from the editor-in-chief, it is said. The head of Department would have given you more, however, you have been partly visibly uncomfortable.
in the summer it had seemed then, as the policy of the SRG could make a dash through the bill. The national Council had endorsed 120 to 54 votes, a change in the law that would have made impossible the SRG relocation from Bern to Zurich. After Nathalie Wappler had corrected the strategy, let fall the Council of States, the initiatives, in the autumn, the small chamber refused to make any Intervention. Thus, the subject is politically currently on the table. The SRG is again free to do what you want.
