Press Council: There is no "right to freelance work"

In a statement published on Tuesday, the Swiss Press Council made it clear that there is no right to freelance work. The complaint of a journalist who had accused the Grenchener Tagblatt of not editing an article as he had deemed appropriate was rejected as unfounded. After the incident, the editorial team decided to end its collaboration with the freelancer. The Press Council was unable to recognize any violation of the declaration of professional ethical obligations and rights of journalists in this action.
