Zurich Press Ball supports Reporters Without Borders

In future, the Zurich Press Ball will support the aid organization Reporters Without Borders, which campaigns for press freedom and persecuted journalists worldwide. According to Bernhard Sutter, President of the Zurich Press Association, the Press Ball wants to continue to support media professionals, while at the same time adapting the purpose of the charity ball to today's needs. Following an evaluation of various aid organizations by the Frey Communications agency, the decision was made in favour of Reporters Without Borders due to its connection to the media, its international focus and the continuation of the long-standing tradition of helping media professionals.
According to a press release, the Swiss representatives of Reporters Without Borders will be present in person at the next edition of the Zurich Press Ball on October 27, 2007.
