Kassel report by Mona Vetsch makes the headlines

Mona Vetsch's report on the German city of Kassel, which appeared in the Tages-Anzeiger, has caused a stir there. The Kassel daily newspaper "Hessische/Niedersächsische Allgemeine", which suffers from an ageing readership, turned it into a series of articles that dramatized the issue. And it almost became a political issue, as the NZZ reported on Sunday. Mona Vetsch has now received an invitation from the mayor to come to Kassel again, a group of athletes canceled a trip to Zurich, the Swiss Tourism Association intervened by telephone and Zurich Tourism wrote to the Tages-Anzeiger. The latter, in turn, now invites the local editor of the "Hessische/Niedersächsische Allgemeine" to Zurich for a juicy report.
