30-year-old conductor Flavio Bundi becomes new RTR editor-in-chief
Rhaeto-Romanic Radio and Television (RTR) has a new editor-in-chief. The Board of Directors of the Swiss Radio and Television Company SRG elected Flavio Bundi, a 30-year-old musician, conductor and former Papal Guard, to head the RTR editorial team.
Flavio Bundi will be responsible for the radio, TV and online offerings of the public media house of Rhaeto-Romanic Switzerland, RTR announced on Tuesday. On November 1, Bundi will succeed Gian Ramming, who has headed the editorial department since 2009. Ramming, 58, will take charge of the new development department within the company.
Bundi, a native of the Grisons Oberland, is known in Graubünden primarily for his work as a composer and conductor. As a journalist, he is a little-described leaf. While studying German, political science and social science, the Ilanzer worked as a freelancer for the regional newspaper Bündner Tagblatt. In addition, he also worked for four years in the Pontifical Swiss Guard in Rome as a media officer and as head of personnel.
Enrichment for Rhaeto-Romanic media house
Bundi has "experience in making complex political topics accessible to a broad audience," SRG.R President Oscar Knapp is quoted as saying in the statement. He is familiar with the Graubünden cultural scene and will enrich the Rhaeto-Romanic media house with his fresh and committed manner. RTR Director Ladina Heimgartner is delighted with the choice. As a passionate musician and conductor, Bundi understands how to deal constructively with harmonies but also with dissonances, the RTR boss is quoted as saying. That is an important quality for a media executive. (SDA)
