Watson stands out from online news media
Watson.ch and Blickamabend.ch both rely heavily on young users, mobile use and social media. The quality of the portals was measured for the first time as part of the Quality of Media Yearbook.
The scientific analysis shows that the quality on the entry pages of Watson.ch is above average compared to the online arena. The news site is positioned between the national quality sites and the news sites of the free and tabloid press. Blickamabend.ch on the other hand, recorded its lowest quality score since the implementation of quality scoring in 2010, falling behind even Blick.ch in terms of quality. These results are presented in a Brief report from the as yet unpublished 2015 yearbook.
