Board of Trustees decides to make savings in Rhaeto-Romanic media
The editorial teams of the Romansh news agency ANR and the daily newspaper La Quotidiana are set to work more closely together. The goal is to generate synergies, as the agency’s board of trustees announced on Thursday.
The editorial offices of the Rhaeto-Romanic news agency ANR and the daily newspaper La Quotidiana are to move closer together. The aim is to gain synergies, as the agency's Board of Trustees announced on Thursday. The decision was taken after publisher Hanspeter Lebrument threatened to publish the Romansh daily newspaper only once a week from 2009 if the paper could not be produced more cheaply.
It has now been agreed to bring the two editorial teams closer together organizationally.
A four-member committee of the Board of Trustees is to examine how this could be implemented in practice, as President Jon Domenic Parolini said. This involves fundamental and legal questions, as the ANR must be organizationally independent of its customers in accordance with the basic concept.
The Rhaeto-Romanic daily newspaper La Quotidiana, which has been published since 1997, is the main customer of ANR, which is subsidized by the federal government and the canton of Graubünden with a total of around one million francs per year. In return, the agency provides the Rhaeto-Romanic media with an article service free of charge.
