"Pulse": New presenter at the health magazine show

Odette Frey (44) studied biology at the University of Zurich and obtained a Master's degree from New York University as part of the Science and Environmental Reporting Program. From 1999 to 2006, she worked for Tamedia as an editor in the knowledge department - first at the "SonntagsZeitung" and later in the same function at the news magazine "Facts". Since 2006, she has worked as a journalist in the science department of Swiss Radio DRS and Radio SRF, specializing in medicine and biology. In this role, she works for various programs such as "Echo der Zeit", "Rendez-vous", "Kontext" and the "Wissenschaftsmagazin". She also presents and produces the latter program on a regular basis.

Odette Frey is now switching to television and will present the health magazine "Puls" from Monday, August 22, 2016. She succeeds Corinne Waldmeier, who - as previously announced (Werbewoche.ch reported) - SRF leaves.

Odette Frey: "After ten years as a medical and science journalist on the radio, I am excited about television. I'm looking forward to presenting such a popular program as 'Puls' and becoming part of an extremely competent and creative editorial team that deals with the important topic of health."

Gerald Tippelmann, Editorial Director of Puls: "In Odette Frey, we have found a biologist and proven science journalist who ideally complements the 'Puls' team and brings an independent and critical perspective to the selection and implementation of our magazine's topics."
