SRF reorganizes audio/digital newsroom
SRF's Audio/Digital Editorial Department, established in early 2024, will adopt a new newsroom structure effective 2026. This change is intended to enable more targeted and centralized planning of content for audio and digital channels.
As part of the "Newsroom 3.0" project, the structures and processes in SRF's audio/digital editorial team are being reorganized. The aim of the reform is to centrally and holistically plan the content for the primetime programs "HeuteMorgen", "Info 3", "Rendez-vous" and "Echo der Zeit" and to coordinate more closely with the news app.
According to Beat Soltermann, Co-Editor-in-Chief Audio/Digital, the new structure will enable us to continue offering high-quality and reliable journalism in the future. Co-editor-in-chief Ursula Gabathuler adds: "The new structures also allow us to react quickly and flexibly to the rapidly changing needs of media usage."
The project group based the development of the new structure on the Zurich Leutschenbach newsroom, but adapted processes and roles specifically to the requirements of the audio offerings. This adjustment is also a prerequisite for the planned merger of the video and audio/digital editorial teams.
Over the next few months, the new roles will be filled and preparations will be made for implementation. The operational launch is scheduled for 2026.
