Paola Biason to leave SRF in summer
Paola Biason, the editor-in-chief of «Gesichter & Geschichten,» will leave SRF this summer at her own request. She plans to pursue a new career path after the final «G&G» episode airs at the end of June 2025.
Paola Biason's decision to leave SRF and pursue a new career follows the announcement that "G&G" will be discontinued after the summer break (Markt-kom.com reported).
"I had 20 unforgettable years at SRF. But my heart beats too strongly for people journalism to only be able to live it out in a slimmed-down form, which is why I'm leaving the company," explains Biason. "I will greatly miss my dedicated team and the generous platform that SRF has offered Swiss celebrities with their own program for over 20 years."
Biason has been a social journalist since she started out in journalism. She began her career at SRF in March 2005 as an input specialist for the first People magazine program, which was broadcast under the name "Glanz & Gloria" at the time. Five years later, she became deputy editor-in-chief and took over as editor-in-chief in March 2015. In this role, she has reportedly made a significant contribution to the further development of the magazine over the past ten years.
Before her time at SRF, the English and Romance studies graduate from the University of Zurich worked for several years as Head of Entertainment at the Swiss Illustrated and at the SonntagsBlick active. Before that, she worked for the View and the Zurich Week.
Biason will continue to lead the editorial team until the last broadcast of "Faces & Stories" at the end of June 2025. Until then, in addition to the daily "G&G" edition, the editorial team will also be involved in various special broadcasts and additional services for the ESC.
