With its four national languages, its cultural diversity and economical status, Switzerland has long had one of the best developed and most complete mass media sectors in Europe.[1][2]
Still, due to its small territorial size, it is strongly influenced by the media of larger bordering countries, with foreign journals, radios and televisions popular throughout the country.[3] The broadcasting sector is dominated by the SRG SSR, subsidized by the federal government,[4][5] while the printed press is free of governmental involvement.
Switzerland was ranked tenth in 2021 in the annual "Worldwide press freedom ranking of countries" published by Reporters Without Borders.[6][7]
