Fran­ziska Leuen­ber­ger

Fran­ziska Leuen­ber­ger stud­ied Ger­man, media stud­ies and his­tory at the uni­ver­sit­ies of Berne, Zurich, Heidel­berg and Vienna. In 2013 she com­pleted her aca­dem­ic career with a doc­tor­ate on the role of media in rela­tion to Ger­man-speak­ing minor­it­ies. Fran­ziska Leuen­ber­ger was already act­ively involved in a vari­ety of media and communications roles dur­ing her stud­ies, includ­ing as an intern at region­al broad­caster Tele­Bärn, as a PR assist­ant at the Museum Franz Gertsch, and in par­tic­u­lar as a long-stand­ing freel­ance journ­al­ist for the “Mit­tel­land Zei­tung”, a news­pa­per in the angenthal/Solothurn region. Her love of lin­guist­ic­ally and styl­ist­ic­ally per­fect prose also led to many years of freel­ance work as a proofread­er and edit­or.
