70 Swiss Journalists in all parts of the world

IMH - Internationale Medienhilfe (International Media Assistance) arranged internships in foreign media outlets for 70 young Swiss journalists in 2002. This international programme by the IMH is known as the biggest of its kind in the media sector. 

The trainees work mainly in German for newspapers and radio stations beyond the German-speaking area. These media include the New York-based German-Jewish newspaper "Aufbau" and the "Baltische Rundschau", monthly published in the Lithuanian capital Vilnius by the Swiss consulate general. 

These internships are very much in demand as they offer trainees the chance to gain experience abroad and in the media at the same time. As trainees mainly work for German-language media, they do not necessarily need to master foreign languages.

Those interested in such internships at foreign media outlets can find additional information at www.medienpraktikum.org. 

The IMH programme is not just open to Swiss nationals, but to all German-speaking journalists too.
