Romansh news agency with new head
The Romansh news agency Agentura da Novitads Rumantscha (ANR) has appointed new leadership. Martin Gabriel, 52, has replaced Jon Domenic Parolini as president of the board of trustees; Parolini was elected to the cantonal government.
Martin Gabriel, previously Vice President of the Board of Trustees, works in his day job as head of the municipal chancellery in Ilanz, as ANR announced on Thursday. However, the 52-year-old is not new to the media industry. From 1988 to 2006, he worked as a radio journalist for Radiotelevisiun Svizra Rumantscha (RTR).
New Graubünden Director of Economic Affairs
Jon Domenic Parolini, BDP councillor and long-standing mayor of Scuol, is handing over the presidency because he was elected to the Graubünden government in May. From the beginning of next year, he will take office as Director of Economic Affairs. CVP National Councillor Martin Candinas was elected to the Board of Trustees to replace the outgoing Chairman. The Romansh news agency was founded in June 1996 and began operations at the beginning of 1997. It provides the Romansh print media and the electronic media with daily texts and photos. The agency, which employs 13 people, is financed by the federal government and the canton. (SDA)
