In 2008, real growth was at 1.8 per cent (previous year 3.3 per cent) • While exports and investments dropped dramatically, especially in the fourth quarter, consumer spending continued to be stable • The unemployment rate, which in June was at 2.3 per cent, the lowest level for the last six years, increased significantly to 3.0 per cent by the end of the year Negative consumer confidence • The consumer confidence index continued its decline that began in 2007 and was at - 27 points in the fourth quarter of 2008, its lowest level in five years Significant decline in advertising spending • After a cautious start into the year, gross advertising investments declined significantly beginning in June. On average, based on statements from Media Focus, investments reached positive growth of 2.6 per cent. However, net advertising spendings were likely significantly lower • The Publicitas Index, which shows long-term changes in advertising expenditures in daily media, was at 89.8 index points or 8 per cent lower than in the previous year (98.1). During this economic cycle, the index lagged significantly behind the achieved mean value of the previous economic cycle Source: Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs SECO; Mediafocus, Publicitas 5 Analyst‘s Conference 2008, 8 April 2009 Volume of ad insertions in daily newspapers declining since February 2008 Publicitas Index: Change in commercial advertising spending in daily media (12/1993=100) in index markers 140 Change to previous year 12/2008 to 12/2007 -8 per cent 130 120 110 100 90 80 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 Source: Publicitas 6 Analyst‘s Conference 2008, 8 April 2009 The economic decline began having an effect in June 2008 Comparison of commercial advertising in national daily newspapers 2008 to 2007 in CHF mill. -11% -14% -12% +6% -8% 220 -0% -15% 202 201 206 200 192 2007 196 185 185 180 182 181 2008 181 180 +6% 174 -12% 180 +3% 160 151 154 -2% 143 147 136 140 140 -7% 130 124 122 120 106 99 100 80 60 40 20 0 Jan.

  • Compilation of a Swiss German Dialect Corpus and Its Application to Pos Tagging
    Compilation of a Swiss German Dialect Corpus and its Application to PoS Tagging Nora Hollenstein Noemi¨ Aepli University of Zurich University of Zurich [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Swiss German is a dialect continuum whose dialects are very different from Standard German, the official language of the German part of Switzerland. However, dealing with Swiss German in natural language processing, usually the detour through Standard German is taken. As writing in Swiss German has become more and more popular in recent years, we would like to provide data to serve as a stepping stone to automatically process the dialects. We compiled NOAH’s Corpus of Swiss German Dialects consisting of various text genres, manually annotated with Part-of- Speech tags. Furthermore, we applied this corpus as training set to a statistical Part-of-Speech tagger and achieved an accuracy of 90.62%. 1 Introduction Swiss German is not an official language of Switzerland, rather it includes dialects of Standard German, which is one of the four official languages. However, it is different from Standard German in terms of phonetics, lexicon, morphology and syntax. Swiss German is not dividable into a few dialects, in fact it is a dialect continuum with a huge variety. Swiss German is not only a spoken dialect but increasingly used in written form, especially in less formal text types. Often, Swiss German speakers write text messages, emails and blogs in Swiss German. However, in recent years it has become more and more popular and authors are publishing in their own dialect. Nonetheless, there is neither a writing standard nor an official orthography, which increases the variations dramatically due to the fact that people write as they please with their own style.

  • 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).

Der von DATUM: 01.01.2020 MARLÈNE GERBER «Technology Exchange» abgeleitete neue Name soll den Wandel des Unternehmens vom Zeitungswesen hin zu einem digitalen Konzern abbilden. Auch die TX Group hatte mit den Auswirkungen der Corona-Pandemie zu kämpfen. In drei von vier Bereichen musste der Konzern im Jahr 2020 ein negatives erstes Halbjahresergebnis hinnehmen. Einen starken Umsatzrückgang verzeichnete der sonst rentable Bereich «20 Minuten» – dies nicht nur wegen eingebrochener Werbeeinnahmen, sondern auch wegen abnehmender Pendlerströme. Bestehende strukturelle Probleme im Zeitungssektor Tamedia – für den Bereich der Bezahlmedien blieb der bisherige Name erhalten – wurden durch die Pandemie verstärkt; die Werbeeinnahmen sanken im untersuchten Zeitraum um 35 Prozent. Als dritter Bereich mit roten Zahlen hatte die hauptsächlich im Verkauf von Fernsehwerbung tätige Goldbach Group ein rückläufiges Ergebnis zu verzeichnen.

  • Yearbook 2020 the Quality of the Media Main Findings the Swiss Media Under the Spell of the Coronavirus Crisis
    Research Center for the Public Sphere and Society Yearbook 2020 The Quality of the Media Main Findings The Swiss Media under the Spell of the Coronavirus Crisis Research Center for the Public Sphere and Society (fög) / University of Zurich 1 Main Findings – The Swiss Media under the Spell of the Coronavirus Crisis Mark Eisenegger Summary The world, Switzerland and the Swiss media are under the spell of the coronavirus crisis. The effects of the pandemic can be seen in all the dimensions examined in this Yearbook. On the one hand, they show several positive findings for journalism. There is more interest in and more use of professional journalism, at times even among young people who otherwise generally have less affinity with news. There is also a relatively high level of media quality. On the other hand, however, the precarious financial situation of journalism in Switzerland is clearly evident. The transformation of the Swiss media and the overall public sphere described in last year’s Yearbook (fög, 2019) as a consequence of tech companies’ rise has been further accentuated in the coronavirus crisis. In the current “corona year”, Google has recorded a slight decline in sales for the first time, and Facebook has also grown at a slower pace. However, in view of the global reces- sion, the tech platforms have clearly “outperformed” (Maron, 2020). This stands in contrast with the field of journalism, where many firms have seen a marked decline in advertising revenues and have had to introduce the scheme of short-time work and request state support. All the major Swiss media companies have an- nounced or have already implemented further cost-cutting measures and budget reductions.

  • 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%).

  • Kommentare in Deutschschweizer Tageszeitungen: Forschungssituation, Frequenz, Formale Gestalt Und Vernetzung
    HARTMUT E. H. LENK Kommentare in Deutschschweizer Tageszeitungen: Forschungssituation, Frequenz, formale Gestalt und Vernetzung 1. Die Zeitungslandschaft in der Deutschschweiz Die Schweiz ist nicht nur das mitteleuropäische Land mit der höchsten Zahl von Zeitungsausgaben pro Kopf der Bevölkerung: Wie die Über- sicht in Abb. 1 des Beitrags von SKOG-SÖDERSVED (in diesem Band) ausweist, liegt sie nach den Daten aus dem Jahre 2013 (für das Jahr 2012) im internationalen Vergleich mit 286 Exemplaren je 1 000 Einwohner auf Platz vier (knapp vor Österreich mit 275 auf Platz fünf und etwas klarer vor der Bundesrepublik Deutschland mit 255 Ex. auf Platz acht). Die Presse in der Schweiz gehört auch zu den von der Medienforschung und von der Medien- und Textsortenlinguistik häufig und vergleichs- weise gründlich untersuchten Massenkommunikationsmitteln. 1.1 Zur Forschungssituation Die germanistische Linguistik an Schweizer Universitäten gehörte zu je- nen, die auf dem Gebiet der medienlinguistischen Forschung Pionierar- beit leisteten. Zu verweisen ist beispielsweise auf die Arbeiten von HA- RALD BURGER, dessen Werk Sprache der Massenmedien (BURGER 1984) zusammen mit den Arbeiten von LÜGER (1983/21995) und BU- CHER (1986) zu den „Meilensteinpublikationen“ (STÖCKL 2012, 15f.) der deutschsprachigen Medienlinguistik gehört und 2014 in Zusammen- arbeit mit MARTIN LUGINBÜHL in 4., neu bearbeiteter und erweiterter Auflage erschien. Auch die Zürcher Publizistikforschung leistete ihren Beitrag zur Beschreibung u. a. sprachlicher Eigenschaften von Print- medien, wie z.B. die Untersuchung von SAXER u.a. (1979) zur Boule- vardzeitung Blick. 262 Hartmut E. H. Lenk In Zürich entstanden in den folgenden Jahrzehnten zahlreiche weitere Arbeiten zur Analyse massenmedialer Kommunikation, die innovative Methoden einsetzten, historische und diachrone Aspekte berücksichtig- ten und in jüngerer Zeit zunehmend auch kontrastive Aspekte einschlie- ßen und über das Medium Zeitung hinaus gehen.
