  • Under the Influence: Advertisers' Impact on The
    Media and Communication (ISSN: 2183–2439) 2017, Volume 5, Issue 2, Pages 31–40 DOI: 10.17645/mac.v5i2.901 Article Under the Influence: Advertisers’ Impact on the Content of Swiss Free Newspapers Colin Porlezza IPMZ—Institute of Mass Communication and Media Research, University of Zurich, 8050 Zurich, Switzerland; E-Mail: [email protected] Submitted: 1 February 2017 | Accepted: 11 March 2017 | Published: 13 April 2017 Abstract The study focuses on whether and to what extent advertisers influence the editorial content of free newspapers in the German part of Switzerland. The contribution analyzes, grounded on an historic approach, the most competitive period in Switzerland, 2008, when not less than five freesheets were competing for advertisers and public attention. By using Alt- meppen’s (2006) organizational theory, the paper offers a theoretical frame able to describe the vanishing co-orientation between the media management and the newsroom, a trend that aggravates commercialization processes in news or- ganizations. In a situation of economic turmoil, so the hypothesis, newsrooms are more inclined to positively adapt the valence of their coverage about their main advertisers in order to keep them in the portfolio. Using a content analysis, the author examined the editorial coverage of six among the most important advertisers of Swiss free newspapers, carrying out an aggregated statistical analysis based on logistic regression. The study revealed that free newspapers with a strong market orientation display a higher chance to publish positive facts and evaluations about advertisers with a high adver- tising expenditure. Keywords advertising; commercialization; free newspapers; journalism; media accountability Issue This article is part of a multidisciplinary issue of Media and Communication, edited by Epp Lauk (University of Jyväskylä, Finland) and Raul Reis (Emerson College, USA).

In 1902, due to its huge success, the company moves to its present location on Zurich Werdstrasse. The history of Tamedia Growth in the 20th century and stock market flotation The company continues to grow through takeovers and in-house developments.

  • La Majorité Tout Juste Atteinte En Faveur Des Initiatives Sur L'eau
    20 minutes / Tamedia Communication d’entreprise Communiqué Projets agricoles: la majorité tout juste atteinte en faveur des initiatives sur l’eau potable et sur les pesticides Sept semaines avant la votation, l’initiative sur l’eau potable et celle sur l’interdiction des pesticides recueillent respectivement un soutien de 54 et de 53%. La première vague du sondage en vue des votations réalisé par 20 minutes et Tamedia révèle par ailleurs que la loi COVID-19 et la loi anti-terrorisme obtiennent l’une comme l’autre une nette majorité. Pour l’instant, 54% des personnes interrogées soutiennent la loi sur le CO2. Zurich, le 30 avril 2021 – 20 minutes et Tamedia viennent de réaliser sur leurs portails d’actualités la première vague du sondage, tous titres confondus, en prélude aux votations fédérales du 13 juin 2021. Les 26 et 27 avril, 18’271 personnes de toute la Suisse ont participé à ce sondage en ligne dont la marge d’erreur se situe à 1,2 point de pourcentage. Initiative sur l’eau potable: une majorité en sa faveur Selon la première vague du sondage, une majorité des personnes interrogées adhère à l’initiative sur l’eau potable. Ce projet recueillerait 54% de voix favorables si la votation avait lieu aujourd’hui, alors qu’il serait rejeté par 43% des votants. On relève une forte polarisation en fonction des partis: les votants de gauche sont en faveur du projet, les personnes qui soutiennent l’UDC, le PLR et le Centre y sont opposées. Comme on pouvait s’y attendre, le soutien le plus fort est enregistré auprès des Verts (89%).
