The Swiss Parliament has proposed new measures to strengthen media diversity, two years after the failure of the media package at the polls. The National Council's Committee for Transport and Telecommunications (KVF-N) has followed two different parliamentary initiatives from the Council of States. The measures include new funding for electronic media, such as support for practical training for editorial staff at the Journalist School MAZ, and funding for the Press Council. The Swiss Radio and Television Company (SRG) should receive less money from the radio and television fee, with six to eight percent going to regional radio and television stations. The National Council also wants to strengthen the indirect funding of small regional newspapers for a period of seven years. The Council of States has rejected an initiative from the National Council to strengthen the negotiating position of private associations against the SRG. The National Council will now decide on this initiative.nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
