Media of Switzerland

• With its four national languages, its cultural diversity and economical sta-tus, Switzerland has long had one of the best developed and most complete media sectors in Europe.

• It was ranked seventh in 2008 in the annual "Worldwide press freedom ranking of countries" published by Reporters Without Borders, tied with Belgium, Latvia, New Zealand, Slovakia and Sweden.

Newspaper• Switzerland has historically boasted the greatest number of newspaper titles published in proportion to its population and size. The most influential newspapers are the German-language Tages-Anzeiger and Neue Zürcher Zeitung NZZ, and the French-language Le Temps, but almost every city has at least one local newspaper. The cultural diversity accounts for a large number of newspapers.

• Most newspapers in Switzerland do have a long tradition reaching back far into the 19th century. All major Swiss cities and towns had two or even three rivaling local newspapers presenting

the views of the major parties in the region: liberals (entrepreneurs), conservatives (craftsmen and farmers) and in industrial centers also socialists (industrial workers).

VIDEO: Artists capture beauty of Zurich by night

A new masterwork by Swiss photographers Alessandro Della Bella and Christian Mülhauser shows the city at its glorious best.

The three-minute video is made up of 90,000 individual images and the artists behind the project even built a custom-made vehicle – the Hypermac - for the camera they used.Created with the help of pilots with airline Swiss, the video features a stunning landing at Zurich airport, a fireworks display, a train ride and even a visit to the city’s opera house mid-performance.

“We had to accompany the Hypermac like bodyguards and push our way through the crowds,” the artists told Zurich daily the Tages Anzeiger, describing the filming process.The video is part of Della Bella and Mülhauser’s ongoing Helvetia by Night project which also includes a new panorama of Zurich at twilight, made with shots taken by a drone flying at a height of 100 metres across the city.

At one point, police stopped the drone’s operations when the machine flew too close to police holding cells, with officers fearing a drug delivery.But the artists were later formally thanked by police after lights placed on their drone were used to illuminate the scene of a violent crime.
