Isabelle Bagnoud Loretan was born in Geneva in 1966, where she studied political science. She moved to Valais in 1994, where she has worked in radio and the press. Editor-in-chief of the Journal de Sierre until spring 2024, she is President of the Conseil de la culture de l’Etat du Valais. President of the Liensenculture office, she has co-organized art exhibitions and conceived the magazine L’Imprévisible in 2015. Interested in social issues, music, visual and performing arts, the journalist has also led mediation workshops at the Théâtre les Halles creative theater in Sierre. Her background includes her links with Valais culture and her in-depth knowledge of the region and its players.
