SRF: Christoph Nufer to become new head of TV federal house editorial office

Christoph Nufer, 43, has been working for Swiss radio and television since 2001. He was initially an editor for the political magazine "Rundschau". From 2006 to 2011, he reported from Brussels as EU, NATO and Benelux correspondent. After returning to Switzerland, he worked again as a producer for "Rundschau" and at the same time as an editor for the Federal Parliament editorial team, which he joined full-time in 2014. From March 1, 2016, he will now take over as head of the editorial office of the Swiss Parliament.

Before joining the former Swiss Television DRS, Christoph Nufer worked as an editor for the Swiss News Agency (SDA) and as an editor, producer and presenter for Tele 24 and TeleZüri. He graduated from the University of Fribourg in Switzerland with a bilingual law degree and also obtained a Master in European Studies (MAES) at the University of Basel's Europainstitut. Christoph Nufer is married and has three children.

Tristan Brenn, Editor-in-Chief TV: "As a former Brussels correspondent and editor of the Federal Parliament, Christoph Nufer is a proven expert on European issues and relations between Switzerland and the EU. With his analytical skills and his many years of television experience, he is ideally qualified to head the editorial team at the Federal Parliament."

Christoph Nufer succeeds Hanspeter Trütsch, 62, who will continue to work for the SRF editorial team on a reduced workload.
