SRG and publishers: rapprochement and submissions to the Uvek
Private media companies and the SRG have reached a tentative agreement on the extent to which the SRG may be present online through editorial content and advertising. They have informed the DETEC of this. The search for a solution continues.
The SRG and the Publishers' Association have each submitted a report to the Federal Department of the Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications (DETEC). The reports contain a joint part and a separate statement, as Uvek spokesperson Harald Hammel explained in a report by the media magazine Edito Online confirmed on Tuesday.
No details were provided on the content of the submissions, with reference to the ongoing negotiations. "The Uvek is currently holding talks with the publishers and the SRG," Hammel merely said. "It acknowledges that a rapprochement has taken place between publishers and SRG, but some points remain controversial."
In September 2011, Media Minister Doris Leuthard called on publishers and SRG to work together to find solutions in the highly competitive online market. Since then, publishers and SRG have been working together in working groups to find solutions for content and advertising in the online business. (SDA)
