Analysis: Center-right camp strengthened in the media
Die Medien sind in dem letzten vier Jahren weiter nach rechts gerückt. Dies zeigt eine von Medienprofessor Roger Blum durchgeführte und von der Zeitung Der Sonntag publizierte Analyse.
Four years ago today, Der Sonntag published the left-right positioning of the most important Swiss print titles for the first time. At that time, it became clear that Weltwoche had moved from the right-liberal to the right-wing camp. Beyond that, however, the majority of the press remained left-liberal. Now, Roger Blum has updated the left-right diagram and established the following: Basler Zeitung, Blick and Der Bund have moved to the right since the 2007 elections. This means that for the first time since the 1990s, which tended to be left-liberal, the majority of the media are once again positioned on the center-right. According to the analysis, the Tages-Anzeiger, Südostschweiz and Sonntagsblick are on the left-liberal side. Alongside the Basler Zeitung, the NZZ, NZZ am Sonntag and Neue Luzerner Zeitung are positioned on the right-liberal side. A detailed chart with the classification of the most important Swiss print titles into the categories "Left", "Left-liberal", "Center", "Right-liberal" and "Right" can be found in the current issue of Sonntag.
The results are based on the analysis of comments and articles on seven referendums in the last legislative period and do not claim to be scientific.
