RTSI responds to the demands of the Graubünden government

The dispute between the Ticino state radio station RTSI and the government of the canton of Graubünden appears to be calming down: As was announced on Thursday, Radiotelevisione della Svizzera italiana intends to increase its reporting from Graubünden.
Following pressure from the Graubünden cantonal council, the Ticino side is now planning to increase the number of staff in Chur, where three RTSI journalists currently work. Following a meeting with director Dino Balestra in Lugano on Thursday, Graubünden cantonal councillor Claudio Lardi told SDA that RTSI will endeavor to fulfill some of the requests in the foreseeable future.
The cantonal government's main concern is that the RTSI should provide more information about events and happenings from the whole of Graubünden and not just from the Italian-speaking southern valleys. To this end, correspondent positions should be created in the German- and Romansh-speaking valleys.
At the beginning of September, the Graubünden government took a strong stance towards the RTSI in order to emphasize its earlier demands.
