Swissinfo cuts jobs: The wife of a National Council member could also be affected
Published
At the online portal Swissinfo of the SRG, a major wave of layoffs is underway. Swissinfo is the international service of Swiss media companies. It informs people abroad about Switzerland and Swiss citizens living abroad about current topics from their homeland.
A person from the political sphere could also be affected by the job cuts. The wife of Jon Pult works at Swissinfo. Jon Pult is a National Council member for the SP from the canton of Graubünden. It is not yet known whether she will lose her job.
The SRG must make savings in the coming years. For this reason, jobs in various areas are being cut or restructured. The cuts affect Swissinfo's online service particularly heavily. For many employees, this means great uncertainty about their professional future.
For readers in Switzerland, the case shows how strongly the SRG is under financial pressure. The precise effects on Swissinfo's offering will only become visible after the restructuring is complete. Further information is expected to follow in the coming weeks.
