The Federal Council can only shape the framework conditions for the media. Publishers and media professionals alone remain responsible for the content. Federal Councillor Albert Rösti said this at a media congress. However, the journalistic craft has suffered in recent times.
Media are good when they offer quality, said Media Minister Rösti on Friday at the Swiss Media Forum in Lucerne. This means that they "convey and classify solid facts in a cultivated language and in an exciting way".
However, this journalistic craft has suffered somewhat recently due to the economic pressure. He also has sympathy for media professionals and experiences them very closely in the Federal Palace. However, when they not only have to write, but also photograph, film, edit clips, lay out and record podcasts - then the journalist is a "production machine". And "that doesn't always go well".
