"10vor10": Arthur Honegger becomes new presenter

Arthur Honegger, 35, graduated from the Ringier School of Journalism in 2001 and gained professional experience in various internships, including at "Arena" and Radio DRS in Bern, before becoming a member of the "Blick" business editorial team in 2002. He moved to Swiss television in 2005, completing a stint at "Schweiz aktuell" and two internships: at "Kassensturz" and in the editorial office of the Swiss parliament.

From 2006 to 2008, Arthur Honegger was editor at "Schweiz aktuell", with a detour as producer of "Music Star - die Woche". Since 2008, he has been reporting from the USA as a foreign TV correspondent - first from New York and since the end of 2011 from Washington. From fall 2015, Arthur Honegger will join Daniela Lager and Andrea Vetsch in the "10vor10" presenting team. He succeeds Stephan Klapproth, who, as previously announced, will concentrate on presenting "Sternstunde Philosophie" from September.

Arthur Honegger: "This is simply a great job. I'm really looking forward to working with the '10vor10' team to bring news and background information to the audience. After more than seven years as a correspondent in the USA, working as a presenter is a new and extremely exciting task for me. I've been watching '10vor10' every day since I was a teenager - to now be part of the news magazine is an honor."

Christian Dütschler, Editorial Director of 10vor10: "I am extremely pleased that Arthur Honegger, a proven journalist with a great track record, will be the new presenter of '10vor10'. As a US correspondent, he has proven in countless live broadcasts over the last few years that he can analyze major world politics in a well-founded and understandable way. I am convinced that Arthur Honegger will quickly become a trademark of the news magazine as a presenter."
