Media for immigrants join forces
On Thursday in Bern, media outlets that primarily target immigrants joined together to form an association. The Ethnomedia Switzerland association aims to promote cooperation both among its members and with Swiss media outlets.
The initiative to found the association came from media professionals and the Forum for the Integration of Migrants (FIMM). Around twenty future association members registered for the founding meeting. Others have already expressed interest, said Anja Suter from FIMM when asked by the SDA news agency.
In Switzerland, dozens of journalists work for newspapers, radio stations and other media aimed at immigrants, according to a communiqué. The new association is intended to represent the interests of these media. The association does not yet have any concrete projects. "For now, it's about making contacts," explained Suter. (SDA)
