IN CONVERSATION WITH LARISSA M. BIELER
"Switzerland has strong global interrelationships: it shapes foreign countries, it exercises influence, it depends on foreign countries – journalistically we have to position ourselves more strongly"
"You have to keep a positive attitude within the team, no matter what is going on. We're always trying to find the angle and/or approach that might interest an extremely diverse Arab audience in our output. We have to listen to our readers, and respond to their comments and questions as best we can."
Kamel Dhif
Head of the Arabic Department
