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]

Controversies

Freedom of press

See also: Banking in Switzerland § Controversies, and Suisse secrets

Since leaking financial data is a criminal offense in Switzerland (even if it is in the public interest) [8] punishable with up to five years in jail, Swiss media argued in February 2022 that the banking secrecy law runs contrary to freedom of speech and freedom of the press in some cases.[9][10] In 2022, the United Nations Human Rights Council has asked for a better protection of journalists and whistleblowers in this regard.[11]

Random walk hypothesis

Financial theory The random walk hypothesis is a financial theory stating that stock market prices evolve according to a random walk (so price changes are random) and thus cannot be predicted. History The concept can be traced to French broker Jules Regnault who published a book in 1863, and then to French mathematician Louis Bachelier whose Ph.D. dissertation titled The Theory of Speculation (1900) included some remarkable insights and commentary. The same ideas were later developed by MIT S...

Logic in Islamic philosophy
