What do Appenzellers and Albanians have in common? Both population groups are generally rather poorly integrated and not exactly known as pioneers in women's issues.

Albanians living in Switzerland are now to be integrated through television programs - this is the idea of Geneva National Councillor Ueli Leuenberger. And this has already taken shape: The Kosovar TV station RTK, which can be received in this country via satellite, is ready to broadcast the programs. According to SDA, two pilot editions have already been filmed. They are reports filmed in Switzerland by Albanian journalists. They deal with topics such as the everyday life of integrated families or the Swiss school system. Only the financing is still open: 80,000 Swiss francs are being sought.

As a local Goliath, Appenzell24 has a good chance of competing vigorously with the global Davids Google et all. The portal should be in the black by the end of 2007 thanks to advertising.
