New online news service Liberatv
Since Monday, the Ticino media landscape has gained a new online news service. Three journalists, including former TeleTicino director Marco Bazzi, founded the Italian-language web portal Liberatv.ch.
Liberatv.ch will offer news and background information from Ticino as well as news from Switzerland and the world. Contributions in the form of texts and videos are planned.
Liberatv.ch distinguishes itself from the numerous online, print and TV competitors in Ticino through its independence, explains Marco Bazzi on the website. The journalists are not tied to any publishing group. Numerous Ticino bloggers also have their say. They are financed by advertising revenue. Bazzi left the private broadcaster Tele Ticino in June after 18 years. Andrea Leoni, editor-in-chief of the information department, also left with him. He is also involved in the new web project.
