In the exhibition, some 150 pictures will be on display in the categories News, Daily Life, Swiss Stories, People, Sports and World. Impressive works by the winners in each of the various categories will be on show at the National Museum Zurich.

The two exhibitions present the best press photographs from Switzerland and around the world. One of the most important qualities of a press photo is its truthfulness. How is this achieved and what pictorial languages can be discerned? What does freedom of the press mean in photojournalism? The guided tour illustrates how images generate attention for current events.

The Swiss Press Yearbook 25 presents the most outstanding Swiss journalism of 2024. The first part of the book, ‘Swiss Press Award 25’, shows the winners of the national Swiss media prize, which is awarded annually by the Fondation Reinhardt von Graffenried. Established in 2009, this independent, non-profit foundation promotes high-quality journalism and meaningful press photography. This book presents the award-winning entries in the categories Swiss Press Text, Swiss Press Online, Swiss Press Audio, Swiss Press Video and Swiss Press Local in German, English, French and Italian.
The second, larger part of the book, ‘Swiss Press Photo 25’, brings together the best Swiss press photos of the year 2024. The publication shows visually formative events of the past year and allows an individual view of what happened. The international jury selects the winning images in six categories: current affairs, everyday life, Swiss stories, portraits, sport and abroad. In short, the Swiss Press Yearbook 25 presents the best of Swiss journalism.
Switzerland is a country of associations. The purposes of the clubs are very different. Fantine, Elodie, Jessica, Cindy, Murielle, Julie and Malou are members of the Mermaid Group.
