National Council committee wants to continue supporting the media
The National Council's Committee on Political Affairs (SPK) is concerned about the media industry's crisis. Unlike the Federal Council, it therefore wants to continue the support for regional and small publishers as well as membership-based media—which was approved in 2007—indefinitely.
To this end, the SPK intends to submit a proposal to the Committee for Transport and Telecommunications (KVF) for the revision of postal legislation, as reported by the parliamentary services on Friday according to SDA. However, it is important that the effectiveness of the postal tax reduction is reviewed and alternative means of press promotion are sought. The SPK wants to instruct the Federal Council to draw up a corresponding report with a commission postulate.
