Junge Journalistinnen und Journalisten Schweiz (JJS)

Junge Journalistinnen und Journalisten Schweiz is the association for young media professionals in Switzerland – and those who aspire to be. We aim to connect young journalists, provide practical workshops, and represent the voice of the next generation in media. We offer a wide range of services to our members, ranging from a press pass and mentoring programs to funding for new projects and major stories. One of our key events is our annual festival, «Journalism Now», where over sixty young media professionals from all over Switzerland come together to learn, network and get inspired.
