Effective immediately, Pascal Schmitz will be part of the anchor team for the "Tagesschau" noon and early evening editions. The longtime SRF radio host takes over from Wasiliki Goutziomitros on maternity leave.
Pascal Schmitz studied journalism and organizational communication at the Zurich University of Applied Sciences ZHAW and earned a Master of Advanced Studies in Applied History at the University of Zurich.
