First and foremost, successful journalistic management activity and many years of sustained management responsibility, preferably in the media sector, are required, writes SRG. Furthermore, a strong, decisive and integrative leader with an innovative spirit and a sense of what is politically and entrepreneurially feasible is expected. A strong connection to Switzerland with an extensive network in politics, business, culture and society and the willingness to implement a contemporary interpretation of the public service in the electronic media are also important.
