Edito + Klartext: Alain Maillard becomes co-editor-in-chief

As co-editor-in-chief for the French-speaking part of Switzerland, Christian Campiche has made Edito + Klartext the market leader in media journalism in French-speaking Switzerland. Taking over from Christian Campiche, who will soon retire, was no easy challenge, according to a press release. However, the choice of Alain Maillard has set the course for an equally successful future for the magazine.

Since the founding of "Edito" in 2009 by the journalist organizations Impressum and SSM, Christian Campiche has shaped the French-language edition of the magazine. With his independence and upholding of journalistic values, he always felt responsible only to the readership, which was crucial to the magazine's success. In 2011, the magazine Edito + Klartext was launched, building on its two predecessors, Edito on the one hand and Klartext, Syndicom's magazine, on the other. At the same time, a new supporting association was founded, which now includes all three Swiss journalist organizations, syndicom, SSM and Impressum. The editorial team is made up of journalists from the predecessor media. Christian Campiche skillfully used this change to enrich the magazine by broadening its horizons and diversity of topics.

Alain Maillard, who will take over from Christian Campiche, is well known as a media journalist. For several years, he was in charge of the radio magazine "Médialogues" on Radio Suisse Romande ("La Première"). His journalistic career in the editorial offices of various important newspapers in French-speaking Switzerland and in various departments of RTS make him an intimate connoisseur of the media scene and the journalistic profession. The committee tasked with finding a successor to Christian Campiche was pleasantly surprised by the large number of applications, some of which were highly qualified, according to the press release.
