Swiss television gives New York more space

 Swiss Television is expanding its correspondent post in New York. Following the replacement of Denise Langenegger by 28-year-old Arthur Honegger next spring, SF intends to strengthen its background and business reporting from the United States. The 38-year-old Langenegger had set up the New York branch and will return to Zurich-Leutschenbach in the spring after ten years. "The USA offers a huge wealth of topics in addition to official politics. I am delighted that we have been able to recruit Arthur Honegger, an inquisitive young colleague, for this challenging task," said SF editor-in-chief Ueli Halidmann.
Honegger is currently an editor at "Schweiz Aktuell" and, in addition to covering a broad range of topics and reporting from all parts of the country, he will also replace Washington correspondent Tilman Lingner in the USA.
