What we cover
Helvetica Times is an English-language news publication covering Switzerland — its politics, economy, culture, science, and the lives of the people who live and work here. Our newsroom is based in Zürich, and we report for an international audience that wants Swiss news without the language barrier.
Our approach
We focus on original reporting from inside Switzerland. We follow the federal government in Bern, the financial sector in Zürich, the international organisations in Geneva, and the cantons in between. We cover stories as they develop and revisit them as the picture sharpens.
We believe English-speaking readers — expats, diplomats, researchers, business travellers, and curious global audiences — deserve a serious, locally-reported source for Swiss news. We aim to be that source.
How we work
Every story is reported, written and edited by named journalists. We attribute quotes, link to primary sources where possible, and disclose conflicts of interest. When we make mistakes, we correct them publicly. See our Editorial Policy, Corrections Policy, and Ownership & Funding for the detail.
