Key findings: Overview
The media structure report highlights the most important developments in the areas of offerings and organizations, financing, content, and usage for the media genres of radio, television, online media, and print media.
Key findings: Offerings and organisations
A diversity of available information is necessary for the democratic formation of opinion. It is therefore important to know how many offerings exist per media type (diversity of offerings), who owns them (diversity of providers), and how both aspects have developed.
Key findings: Financing
Media are financed from various sources. Which sources of financing are important for the different media types – and how have they developed in recent years?
Key findings: Content
Media in Switzerland are free to design their content (programming autonomy). Nevertheless, it is important to know what components and topics their offerings consist of – and how their focus has developed.
Key findings: Usage
The use of media plays an important role in the everyday life of the Swiss population. How has usage developed – and what differences can be seen, for example, between different age groups?
