Samuel Schmid new member of the Media Science Advisory Board
Former Federal Councilor Samuel Schmid is one of the new members of the Bern Media Studies Advisory Board. The secretaries-general of Switzerland’s largest political parties have also joined the board.
The Association for the Promotion of Communication and Media Studies at the University of Bern has a prominent advisory board. This advises the institute on issues relating to the transfer of knowledge to society and the needs of the population.
As the Institute of Communication and Media Studies announced on Wednesday, according to SDA, some members of the advisory board have recently resigned, including former Federal Councillor Adolf Ogi. Others withdrew because they no longer perform their previous function in the media. The Association has taken the opportunity to appoint a number of new members who, according to the press release, "fit in well with the new direction of the Institute for
Communication and Media Studies". Following the resignation of Professor Roger Blum at the end of January 2010, this will focus more on political communication. Former Federal Councillor Samuel Schmid and the secretaries general of the largest political parties - Stefan Brupbacher (FDP), Tim Frey (CVP), Thomas Christen (SP), Martin Baltisser (SVP) and Miriam Behrens (Greens) - will therefore be among the new members.
The Advisory Board currently has 33 members. It usually meets once a year for an orientation and discussion meeting.
