Sound picture shows at the Photo 15

Tagesanzeiger.ch/Newsnet looks back on a year with many multimedia highlights. The "Soundslides" audio-visual shows can now also be seen from Friday at the renowned "Photo 15" exhibition in Zurich.

Alongside big names such as James Nachtwey and Thomas Höpker, 150 photographers will be showing their favorite pictures from the past year from January 9 to 13. The Tagesanzeiger.ch/Newsnet innovation team will also be presenting a selection of photo reportages specially prepared for the Internet.

"Soundslides" is a multimedia format for photography stories that focuses on sound and images. Renowned photographers show their most impressive reportages and comment on them in their own words. It is not just the aesthetic quality of the images that counts, the story behind them is of central importance. Last year, the Innovation Digital team produced "Soundslides" in collaboration with photographers Helmut Wachter, Edgar Herbst and Kostas Maros. The new Audio-visual show "In Jesus' Name" was created with Christian Lutz especially for "Photo 15".

The digital "Soundslides" format, which is now being shown together with conventional photographic works, deliberately sets a counterpoint to the usual online genres. "We are creating a place of concentration on our websites," says Michael Marti, Head of Digital at the "Tages-Anzeiger" and Newsnet boss. "The 'soundslides' are a kind of peep box that allows users to immerse themselves in a story without being distracted or irritated." 

 

Patrolman staged as a gentleman

Pinkup created the winter campaign for the Swiss Touring Club.

TCS patrollers are experts in their field. At the same time, in addition to technology, people are always at the center of their actions. Pinkup communicates this message by presenting the TCS patroller as a gentleman.

The TCS patroller is quickly on the scene even in the furthest corner of Switzerland with one call - and cares not only about the vehicle, but also about the people. This message was communicated by posters - on remote roads where rapid assistance in the event of a breakdown is particularly welcome. The key visual told a story that was intended to convey the TCS brand values of emotional proximity, reliability, and trust.

Furthermore, a mailing was sent to 300,000 potential TCS new members. Recipients who opted for TCS membership received a warming cell phone cover as a thank-you gift.

Responsible at TCS: Patricia Gyger (Marketing Project Manager), Stefanie Thüler (Marketing Project Manager). Responsible at Pinkup: Nicole Chervet (CD), Vitali Tcherednitchenko (AD), Martina Käppeli (consulting), Mirko Ries (photography), Thomas Siegfried (text), Michèle Krüsi (graphics/image editing), Celina Harisberger (assistance).

Vigousse cartoonist survived the attack

A cartoonist from the satirical magazine Vigousse in western Switzerland survived the attack on Charlie Hebdo in Paris. The artist, known as Coco, hid under a piece of furniture.

This is what Vigousse editor-in-chief Thierry Barrigue told the SDA news agency. The illustrator works for both satirical magazines - Charlie Hebdo and Vigousse. "The grief overwhelms me," Thierry Barrigue said after the attack. He said the cartoonists killed - Charb, Cabu, Wolinski and Tignous - were friends. Charb was the director of Charlie Hebdo. He had come to Morges VD as recently as September to participate in a debate on press freedom. Even then, he had been guarded by a policeman because he had received threats. He told him that he would never give in to the threats, that he would continue his work for freedom of speech, Thierry Barrigue recalls. It's not just satirical magazines that are in danger, he says.

"Our fundamental rights are threatened," said the editor-in-chief of Vigousse. If you remain silent, you have lost. These people had paid for freedom of speech with death. The bloody deed changes nothing for the satirical magazine in French-speaking Switzerland. One continues in the same style. "We have never received threats or had to ask for police protection," Barrigue said. The perpetrators wanted you to stop, but that's exactly what you can't do, he said. That would be betraying the victims, the editor-in-chief said. (SDA)

Switzerland Tourism is now working with Havas. Leo Burnett, Walker, Ogilvy & Mather, BSSM, Kilian Gasser, and Stämpfli have also announced changes to their client portfolios.

Havas is the new lead advertising agency for Switzerland Tourism

havas

After around ten years, Switzerland Tourism (ST) has made a change to its lead advertising agency: Havas Worldwide Zurich/Geneva will shape ST's advertising presence from January 1, 2015. In 2005, ST teamed up with the Zurich agency Spillmann/Felser/Leo Burnett (later Leo Burnett Switzerland), which until then had been responsible for the central advertising campaigns. With the aim of dynamizing its advertising presence, ST carried out an agency pitch in the fall of 2014 in accordance with the ordinance on public procurement VöB, which is binding for ST.

ST chose the agency Havas Worldwide Zurich/Geneva, with offices in Zurich and Geneva, which will shape ST's communication and advertising strategy from the beginning of 2015. The decisive factors in the choice were Havas Worldwide's international expertise and the creative concept presented in the pitch, which differentiates and surprises.

The first ST campaign for which Havas Worldwide Zurich/Geneva will be responsible for the first time will be the winter campaign 2015/2016.

Kilian Gasser with new tasks

kiliangasser

Kilian Gasser Medienvermarktung, based in Altdorf UR, has changed its mandate structure. After 5 years of successful collaboration, Kilian Gasser has relinquished the marketing mandate for the magazine of Pro Senectute Switzerland, Zeitlupe, as of December 31, 2014.

Since 1.1.2015, Kilian Gasser has been devoting himself to the new tasks in his place of residence as an SP representative with a 30-percent workload, where he is responsible for the "Culture" and "Youth/Education" departments.

In the publishing sector, Kilian Gasser continues to manage the marketing mandates for the titles Die Zeit (Swiss edition of the German quality newspaper), Wohnen (member magazine of the Swiss Association of Housing Cooperatives) and Links (member newspaper of the Swiss Social Democratic Party).

LZ Medien takes over Maxiprint

LZ Medien Holding is acquiring 68 percent of the shares in the online printing company Maxiprint from its previous owners and founders, Ingo Grünig and Marcos Gonzalez. With this acquisition, the Central Swiss media company becomes the sole owner.

LZ Medien had already acquired the Swiss Internet printing company Maxiprint.ch In 2009, it also acquired a 32% stake in the company Maxiprint Licensing International (MLI). With retroactive effect from January 1, 2015, the subsidiary of the NZZ Media Group is now acquiring the remaining 68 percent of MLI and thus all Maxiprint companies. The acquisition will enable LZ Medien Holding to merge the two companies, expand Maxiprint's market position and thus create optimal conditions for profitable growth, as detailed in a press release.

The Maxiprint employees will be taken on by the new owner. The transaction will also not result in any changes for customers and partners of the Maxiprint companies. The previous owners, Ingo Grünig and Marcos Gonzalez, will pursue new career paths, but will continue to be available to the company as consultants.

Online magazine Zentral+ expands

In its second year of operation, Zentral+, the online magazine for Zug and Lucerne, is expanding its editorial staff, planning a redesign, and preparing another print issue.

"We have shifted the content focus to more political and topical reporting," says Managing Director Christian Hug. This has established Zentral+ as an important media voice and more than doubled the number of hits.

Two editorial managers

In order to meet users' needs for even more content, Zentral+ is expanding further. According to the press release, this also entails organizational adjustments. From January 2015 Luca Wolf (picture) is responsible for managing the Lucerne editorial department. The 40-year-old trained journalist and social worker has spent the last six years working as an editor at the Neue Luzerner Zeitung in the Lucerne city/region department. There, he was responsible for reporting from the Lucerne City Parliament and the Kriens Residents' Council, among other things.

Already in November last year Falco Meyer has taken over as head of the Zug editorial office. The 29-year-old from Cham, who has a university degree in business psychology and political science, previously worked as a freelance journalist for the Neue Zuger Zeitung, the Zuger Stadtmagazin and the Zug Kultur Magazin, among others.

With the start of their activities, the two relieve Christian Hugwho led the editorial teams ad interim and can now concentrate again on his duties as managing director and publishing director.

Further additions have been made to the editorial teams:

Tobias Granwehr, Editorial Assistant Zug: The 33-year-old from St. Gallen worked for seven years as an editor at the Langenthaler Tagblatt and previously at the Wiler Zeitung. He has been working for Zentral+ since December 2014.

Andrea Zimmermann, Editorial Assistant Lucerne: The media and communication scientist has been working as a freelancer for Zentral+ for over a year. The 30-year-old Lucerne native also holds a master's degree in global society and politics from the University of Lucerne.

David von Moos, Editorial Assistant Lucerne: The 28-year-old from Hergiswil studied law at the University of Lucerne and spent the last few years working as a Junior Relationship Manager at Credit Suisse. In addition, he was a member of the editorial commission of the municipality of Hergiswil as editor of the municipal magazine.

In March will also Robert Bossart come to Zentral+. The 50-year-old Altwiser will take on cantonal topics as editor. Previously, the trained primary school and piano teacher was employed as an editor at the Neue Luzerner Zeitung for 13 years. Since 2008, he has been deputy head of the magazine section of Zentralschweiz am Sonntag.

Redesign and print edition

The expansion of content is expressed in a redesign, which is planned for the first half of 2015. And as it did for the Zug elections in 2014, the company also plans to publish a print edition for the Lucerne elections. Centralplus.ch was launched on January 17, 2013 as an online-only medium and is published by MMV online AG. zentral+ is politically and denominationally independent and reports daily on the cantons of Lucerne and Zug.

Last but not least: Farewell to the legs swing

In a blog post, ARD apologizes for the way FDP politician Katja Sudings was filmed in a «Tagesschau» segment.

"It's one of those pans we used to see in the '80s and early '90s that liked to provide the template for old-timey sayings," Erste Deutsche Fernsehen writes on the Tagesschau blog. In the report on the Epiphany meeting of the German FDP, the "Tagesschau" first put the legs of the state chairwoman of the FDP Hamburg prominently in the picture, before the camera panned to the upper half of the body, which is more relevant for politicians (you can find the panning of the kickoff here at 5:00).

beinschwenk

He has nothing against viewers being outraged about the content of the program - such as Pegida, the FDP or the NSA, says editor-in-chief Kai Gniffke. "But please not about the way we film people. The legs panning belongs on the index."

So that's it for the leg swivel. Banished to the index. At least in Germany. We in the south still have "Glanz & Gloria" - the show in which a leg, back or cleavage panning shot is still part of good manners.

And the appearance of female politicians doesn't matter in this country anyway. Except perhaps in the case of a new Hairstyle. Or when "the most beautiful politician in Switzerland" leaves the SVP. Or when it comes to whether left-wing female politicians really have a "Slut look" (Incidentally, 50 percent of 20 Minuten readers think that appearance is important (!) in politics).

By the way: At least on her election propaganda, Suding is not reduced to her femininity. She is nothing less than "Our man for Hamburg." You'd have to like that slogan - or at least understand it. But as always, we don't interfere in the politics of our neighbors as long as their cavalry doesn't overrun us. (hae)

World stars of the photo scene in Zurich

From Friday, January 9, through next Tuesday, Photo15 will take place at the Maag Halle in Zurich. The tenth edition of Switzerland’s largest and most important photography exhibition will once again feature a Photo Forum. Guest star: Dietmar Henneka.

Of 248 awards, he recently consigned 200 to the dumpster. But this is not the only reason why Dietmar Henneka is regarded as an icon and "enfant terrible". It is above all his views and works that have earned him the title of "Germany's loudest photographer". Some also call him the Oliviero Toscani of the North. Why this has come about can now be checked with your own eyes and ears as part of the forum on Friday, January 9, 3 pm. Dietmar Henneka will explain in a lecture its "point of view opposite the advertising photography". Henneka is an honorary member of the BFF and was honored by ADC for his life's work. From his point of view: 50 percent for his photography, 50 percent for his person. "In any case, a very entertaining and inspiring personality," says Michel Pernet of Bloofeld Entertainment, which produces Photo15.

Henneka_1

The Admission for the forum with Dietmar Henneka costs 42 francs. With the Advertising Week it also goes for 32 francs. Who mails us until Thursday 16 o'clock to [email protected] will be put on the guest list and thus get in at a reduced price at the box office. For an entire agency group, the special price is 250 francs.

Maag Hall, Friday, January 9. Exhibition from 11 am, Forum with Dietmar Henneka 3 pm.
