Swisster – a news website for Anglophones

Employees of CERN can now sign up for a free account at Swisster.ch, an English language website devoted to Swiss news and current affairs.

The website, which is aimed at English speakers in Switzerland, normally requires an annual subscription of 300 CHF, but has teamed up with sponsors to offer a free subscription for CERN employees.

The service provides a daily newsletter containing the main news and other information sent to subscribers every working day. The Swisster website also offers a variety of services such as health, education and food forums called "corners", as well as weather & snow forecasts, blogs and even a TV guide for Anglophones.

The editorial team of English-speaking journalists is based in Lausanne, Geneva, Zurich and Neuchatel and covers news for expatriates and English speakers living and working in Switzerland.

Swisster.ch also has a Saturday morning radio show from 08:30 to 09:30, on Radio Cité 92.2fm (Geneva area). Broadcast in English the show covers the main weekly news.
