Las-Alps- infoteca": Media House of the Alps planned in Chur
Romansh radio and television have launched the idea of a so-called «Las-Alps-infoteca.» The groundwork will be laid at a conference in Chur on Friday and Saturday.
Over 100 representatives from politics, administration, the media, business and non-governmental organizations are taking part in the conference in the Grand Council building. They will discuss the necessity and feasibility of a Media House of the Alps, as Radio e Televisium Rumantscha (RTR) in Chur reported according to SDA.
Federal Councillor Eveline Widmer-Schlumpf will give a speech entitled "The Alpine region - a single entity?". Professor Werner Bätzing from the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (Germany) will speak on "The necessity of a media house for sustainable Alpine development".
The aim is to launch "Las-Alps-infoteca" as a hub for information from the Alps about the Alps, both in terms of content and organization. At the end of the conference, a project organization for the development of the competence center for media in the Alps is to be specified.
According to RTR, it intends to initiate the project. However, it will not be up to RTR or SRG to carry or manage "Las-Alps-infoteca".
The Media House of the Alps will deal with topics that concern people throughout the Alpine arc. The plan is to build up a network to offer such topics to an international audience. In a second step, "Las-Alps-infoteca" will produce its own journalistic products.
