Local fit

Why hire a native Swiss journalist

Hiring a journalist who is actually based in Geneva changes the work in ways an offshore hire cannot copy. High value, multilingual and quality obsessed. Buyers expect precision and privacy, price is rarely the objection, and four language regions each read differently.

Practically, that means your journalist writes in the spelling, currency and legal conventions used across Switzerland, references Geneva and wider Geneva accurately, works inside your hours so a question does not cost a day, and quotes in CHF. Languages on the bench for this market: German, French, Italian, English.
