"Echo der Zeit": Nicoletta Cimmino to be new presenter
The political current affairs program «Echo der Zeit» is getting a new host, Nicoletta Cimmino. The 41-year-old journalist will be moving from the domestic news desk to the «Echo der Zeit» team at Radio SRF in June 2016.
She succeeds Simone Fatzer, who is moving to the foreign desk. Cimmino completed a bilingual traineeship at Radio Canal 3 in Biel/Bienne after completing commercial school. She then moved to Radio 24 in Zurich as an editor, presenter and reporter. She joined DRS 1 in 2004 as a daily producer. Nicoletta Cimmino started in the information department of Radio SRF as a news editor, after which she presented the programs "Info 3" and "Heute Morgen". She has been a member of the domestic editorial team since 2014.
Nicoletta Cimmino: "I am delighted to be working with the "Echo" team to ensure that the "flagship" continues to sail with a tailwind - in the knowledge that I am following in the footsteps of gifted journalists who have shaped the "Echo der Zeit". I am taking on this challenge with great enthusiasm and curiosity."
