Association "info-en-danger" dissolved
The association «info-en-danger» (Media in Danger), founded in 2005 to defend journalistic ethics and freedom of expression, has dissolved. The association had brought together some 600 journalists and supporters from French-speaking Switzerland.
According to a communiqué issued at a general meeting, the members of "info-en-danger" found that the aim of raising public awareness of the problems facing the printed press had been partially achieved. Independent and credible media reporting is a fundamental right of citizens and a duty for journalists and publishers, the association had always emphasized. One of the main demands had also been that advertising should be clearly separated from editorial contributions. (SDA)
