Furthermore, the ZPRG publishes the successful media podcast ComSumCast together with the Zurich Press Association ZPV. SRF presenter Reto Lipp interviews personalities from the media and communications industry every month. The user numbers of the ComSumCast on the popular podcast platforms confirm that the format has established itself not only among communications experts and media professionals.
All events of the other six regional societies of PR Suisse are also open to ZPRG members. This national networking is strongly promoted with events such as an umbrella association AGM and an annual PR symposium, which will take place in October 2023.
