SVP most frequently represented in the media
The study on media coverage in the run-up to the 2015 national elections also shows that the SVP was most frequently represented in the media, but not more so than in parliament.
The SVP was the most frequently represented party in the text contributions analyzed by the University of Fribourg with around 27%. It was followed by the SP (19 percent), FDP (16 percent), CVP (11 percent) and Greens (8.5 percent). The SVP's share of media coverage was thus equal to its share of seats in the National Council, according to the summary of the survey published on Tuesday. The SP and CVP were slightly underrepresented in the media compared to their share of seats. The FDP and Greens were slightly overrepresented. The results for party presence were similar for audio and video contributions. (SDA)
