Adriano Gerussi becomes editor-in-chief of Tele 1
Adriano Gerussi will become editor-in-chief of Tele 1 effective October 1. He had already been serving as interim editor-in-chief alongside Christian Albisser after former editor-in-chief Oliver Kuhn stepped down in March.
Gerussi has many years of TV experience. He has worked for Swiss Television, Ringier TV, TV3, Teleclub and Eurosport, among others. After six years at the private broadcaster Radio Sunshine, he became deputy editor-in-chief of the Central Swiss regional television station TeleTell in 2008, which was reorganized as Tele 1 in 2010. As part of the founding team of Tele 1, he played a key role in establishing the new TV brand and worked for the station for five years in various roles: as head of the background department, presenter and deputy editor-in-chief.
Caroline Thoma, Managing Director of Reach Media at the NZZ Media Group, said in a press release: "In Adriano Gerussi, we have found an ideal candidate for the position of Editor-in-Chief. He has close ties to Central Switzerland, is a proven leader and an experienced TV editor."
