The unanimous decision to include SWI swissinfo.ch/SBV as the representation of Switzerland was made at the annual meeting of the DG7 group this month. SWI swissinfo.ch reaches a worldwide online audience of around four million users every month.
“In a turbulent international environment, the public service media play a crucial role,” said SBC Director General Gilles Marchand. “Joining this network is another opportunity for SBC to expand its collaboration with the major players in the public audiovisual sector, to develop further and to contribute to Switzerland’s international presence.”
The current members of DG7 are: ABC Australia, BBC World Service Group, CBC / Radio-Canada, Deutsche Welle, France Médias Monde, NHK World-Japan and the United States Agency for Global Media (USAGM).
The members of the network advocate journalistic independence, the fight against disinformation, global access to information, the protection of editorial and technical teams, and joint digital projects and values.
“Only in cooperation with other public service media abroad can we increase the reach and visibility of our content, create more space for independent quality journalism and thus counteract increasing disinformation,” says Larissa Bieler, Director of SWI swissinfo.ch.
