Gotthard breakthrough moves the international media
On Friday, around three hundred media representatives will report from Sedrun, where the breakthrough at the Gotthard Base Tunnel will take place in the afternoon. A hundred people are on duty for SRG alone.
The world record Gotthard tunnel attracts enormous media interest. In addition to the one hundred people from SRG, about 150 journalists will also gather in the workshop in Sedrun, where a large celebration will take place. This is what Rahel Probst, media officer at AlpTransit Gotthard, told the SDA news agency on Friday. The other journalists will be allowed into the tunnel with another 150 invited guests.
According to Probst, more than half of the 300 media representatives come from Switzerland, while the remaining reporters are mainly from neighboring European countries. But Japanese journalists and a representative of the Arabic broadcaster Al Jazeera are also on site for coverage of the Gotthard breakthrough.
