The Month of May sees two important commemorations, The Day of Local Journalism May 5th and World Press Freedom Day on May 3rd. To mark this, we spoke to Elio Donauer, Co-Managing Director & Project Manager Civic Media at Tsüri, a digital, local, newsletter from Zurich, that is sent out everday.

We delve into Tsüri's origins and his journey since joining in 2018 and Elio's educational background and how he found his way to Tsüri. What is the organization's DNA, what has Elio and Tsüri learned about the city over the years. We trace the journey from early days to its current wide readership. The conversation tackled big media theories, focusing on the newsletter era of journalism, and delved into the public's returning trust in newsletter journalism. 

Finally, what is the future of the media, navigating through predictions for the next few years in journalism, and the ongoing role of media in society's discourse. Listen to the conversation to peel back layers of what makes Tsüri a pioneering force in Swiss civic media. A a vivid conversation of a media landscape that is as challenging as it is hopeful, leaving readers to ponder the future of community-centric journalism.
