Keystone-SDA: Servizio Valli Italofone to be expanded
Service to the Italian-speaking areas of the canton of Graubünden is being expanded. To this end, Keystone-SDA is expanding the Servizio Valli Italofone (SVI) on behalf of the canton of Graubünden. Annalisa De Vecchi is succeeding Danilo Nussio.
Annalisa De Vecchi previously worked as a correspondent for Radiotelevisione della Svizzera Italiana (RSI). From September, she will take over from Danilo Nussio, who is retiring. De Vecchi will report for the Italian-speaking regions of Misox, Bergell and Puschlav, and will also incorporate news from these valleys into Keystone-SDA's national reporting.
The Italian-language editorial office at Keystone-SDA was set up in 2017 on behalf of the canton of Graubünden and is funded by the federal and cantonal language subsidies. In April 2024, the government approved the expansion of the Servizio Valli Italofone (SVI).
The expansion of the editorial office in Chur from the current 50 percent to 100 percent will promote Italian-language reporting on events in politics, culture and society and thus ensure basic journalistic coverage of the southern valleys of Graubünden, as Keystone-SDA writes in a press release. To this end, it will work closely with Keystone-SDA's regional office, which is also based in Chur, and receive support from the central editorial office in Bern.
In addition to strengthening journalistic reporting for the Italian-speaking areas of the canton, the InfoGrigione association is also pushing ahead with the development of the E-Grigionitaliano digital platform. This platform will enable participating media to provide each other with content, exploit synergies in digital production and distribution and carry out development projects.
The platform is scheduled to go into operation in the second quarter of 2025.
