"Die Schweizer": SRF sets female accents
According to Schweiz am Sonntag, SRF management is reacting to the widespread criticism and is offsetting SRG's "Die Schweizer" theme month with additional programming around women.
Due to the "engaged public debate" (Werbewoche.ch reported), it was decided at the last meeting to set an example and prominently address the absence of women in the SRG series, SRF spokeswoman Andrea Hemmi told the newspaper. Specifically, this means: A "Club extra" on the topic of "Where are the Swiss women?" following the first part of the film about the Battle of Morgarten on November 7. SRG Director General Roger de Weck will also take part in the panel discussion. In addition, a documentary about Sophie Taeuber-Arp, the woman on the 50 note, will be repeated. (SaS/hae)
