15-year-old presents "Glanz & Gloria"
For one week, 15-year-old Tom Surbeck from Uster will host the celebrity magazine show «Glanz & Gloria.» For this occasion, SRF has renamed the show «G&G voll fresh» to make it more appealing to young people (?).
At the end of April, "Glanz & Gloria" called on young people to apply if they wanted to spend a week creating SRF's people magazine in fall 2016. Within a very short time, 120 interested people applied for a casting, and 40 took part at the end of May. The editorial team has now decided on twelve applicants. The presenter will be Tom Surbeck, 15, from Uster ZH.
He is 15 years old, attends cantonal school, plays floorball and comes from Uster ZH. And he has a big goal: one day he wants to work as a radio or TV presenter. "That's exactly why I applied for "G&G voll fresh" - it's the perfect opportunity to get a little closer to my dream," says a delighted Tom Surbeck. The Zurich native will be in front of the camera for "Glanz & Gloria" for a week from October 10 to 14, 2016. Paola Biason, Editorial Director of "Glanz & Gloria": "Tom came in - and everything was clear. He is likeable, clever and eloquent. I'm still perplexed that a 15-year-old can master a TV casting so confidently."
Creative young people will also be at work behind the camera for a week - whether as editors, reporters or cameramen. They include Angéline Reichenbach, 14, from Adlikon ZH, Balz auf der Maur, 16, from Oberwil ZG, Joana Hirt, 14, from Würenlingen AG, Jan Signer, 14, from Gossau SG, Malin Ackermann, 14, from Dielsdorf ZH, Luca Fischlin, 15, from Lucerne, Maurus Rothen, 14, from Münsingen BE, Max Felner, 14, from Zwillikon ZH, Leana Flückiger, 14, from Leimiswil BE, Tristan Scherer, 15, from Wettingen AG and Viktoria Agnes Heutschi, 14, from Riggisberg BE.
During this time, the people magazine also gets a new name, "Glanz & Gloria voll fresh". The broadcasting concept remains the same, but reporting is done from the perspective of young people. They choose the topics and protagonists, create the reports from A to Z and ultimately present the show.
