SRG broadcasters report too little on other language regions
The SRG stations' news programs do not cover enough topics from other language regions. This is the conclusion of a study commissioned by Bakom.
The program mandate of the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation states that the SRG promotes understanding and exchange between the different parts of the country. However, this is contradicted by the latest study conducted by the University of Fribourg on behalf of Bakom. The information programs of La Première devote just four percent of their reporting to the other language regions - two percent to German-speaking Switzerland and two percent to Ticino. The same applies to DRS 1, whose news programs devote three percent of their coverage to French-speaking Switzerland and one percent to Ticino. At 44%, reporting on foreign countries is in first place at Radio DRS.
