Government Candidates in Unfamiliar Roles (Swiss Press Audio 2015, by Silvio Liechti) - Swiss Press Award
Regionaljournal Graubünden
Silvio Liechti
In the run-up to the elections and with an irreverent nod, the Regionaljournal Grisons probes the government candidates in a series of seven portraits: Not only are the politicians confronted with the usual questions, such as what the most pressing problem in Grisons is; but the interviews take place in the unfamiliar circumstance of a job-exchange. Barbara Janom Steiner, one of the members of the cantonal government, was given the task of setting up a computer in the Office for Information Technology; another member of the Grisons government, Martin Jäger, manned the ticket office of the Natural History Museum; and the president of the commune of Scuol, Jon Domenic Parolini, used heavy machinery to help clear the snow in the Lower Engadin.
