Maz: 44 journalists and 11 photographers graduated
44 journalists and 11 photographers received the diploma of Maz, the Swiss School of Journalism on April 11.
The graduating journalists have spent four in-service semesters learning the craft and theory. Almost all of them have a permanent job after graduation, as the School of Journalism announced on Monday. The photographers spent twelve months studying reportage, portrait and documentary photography, discussing and working with international photographers, reflecting on legal and ethical issues in photojournalism and learning the latest image editing techniques. They applied the knowledge they acquired during their traineeship. The graduation speech was given by Andrea Masüger, CEO Südostschweiz Medien.
