Federal Media Support: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how media organizations in Switzerland can access digital transformation grants and reduced postal rates through this federal support scheme.
This scheme provides financial and logistical assistance to help media organizations maintain their operations and adapt to new technologies.
Who it's for
This program is designed for media organizations that can meet specific requirements regarding their editorial independence and professional standards.
What you get
Support is provided in two main ways: through grants to help with digital transformation or through reduced postal rates to lower distribution costs.
What it costs you
To receive this support, your organization must strictly comply with all federal editorial standards.
The catch to know
This is not a program for individual journalists. The support is only available to the employer, meaning the media organization itself must be the entity that qualifies and applies.
How to apply
- Verify that your organization meets the required editorial and independence criteria.
- Determine if you are seeking digital transformation grants or postal rate reductions.
- Review the specific compliance requirements for editorial standards.
