Lobbying blog Wandelhalle.ch aims to contribute to the transparency debate
Swiss public affairs and communications consultants launch the blog Wandelhalle.ch. It addresses the topic of transparency in political communication from the perspective of active lobbyists and public affairs experts. The initiators are convinced: "A modern democracy needs lobbyists".
The Wandelhalle.ch blog is a discussion platform for topics related to political communication. It is aimed not only at active communication experts, but also at all interested parties from politics, business, public administration and the general public. Officially launched on September 1, 2009, it also focuses on the transparency debate surrounding lobbying in Switzerland. Editorial responsibility lies with the two initiators Andreas Hugi (Furrer.Hugi&Partner) and Markus Kaufmann (complizen). It is their declared aim to be able to discuss current and relevant topics as controversially as possible. To this end, contributions from guest authors are also published on the blog. The discussion should be transparent and open to the public. Transparency is also the credo of the two blog initiators for their work in political communication.
Public affairs and communications consultants have launched the lobbyist blog Wandelhalle.ch, which addresses the topic of transparency in political communication from the perspective of active lobbyists. Andreas Hugi (Furrer.Hugi&Partner) and Markus Kaufmann (complizen) are the editors in charge and present their positions on lobbying, transparency and corporate citizenship, for example in a "plea for lobbyists". Other professional colleagues are also invited to express their opinions. In addition, guest authors will regularly publish their opinions. The first step will be taken by Bruno Frick, member of the Council of States, and Lukas Golder from gfs.bern.
With this blog, the initiators of Wandelhalle.ch would like to make an active contribution to the discussion and the formation of political opinion. The Wandelhalle.ch blog is partisan in the best sense of the word: it takes sides with the lobbying profession, but clearly advocates transparency and professional ethics and engages in a debate with other demands and proposals. "A modern democracy needs lobbyists," is the credo of the two bloggers.
