| Abstract: | Swiss journalistic media are far from exploiting their innovation potential. On a macro- and mesolevel, the lack of resources due to a failing business model of relatively small media organizations in small-scaled, fragmented markets can be seen as the cause for a modest degree of innovation in the Swiss media system. Media policy that would foresee measures such as state subsidies to support initiatives or better protection of journalistic work could help to overcome this problem. However, the political culture of Switzerland, with slow, decentralized processes and a weak central state, does not allow for the timely development of such regulation. Therefore, the conditions for innovation in Swiss media are difficult. This overall assessment is consistent with evaluations from expert interviews and case study interviews conducted by the Journalism Innovations in Democratic Societies (JoIn-DemoS) research consortium between 2021 and 2022. This finding complements results from surveys among journalists, which indicate that on the microlevel of individ ual actors, due to professional attitudes and working conditions, little inno vation is to be expected. If individual journalists are to initiate innovative ideas, they are most likely to come from the fringes and not from the core of well-established media organizations. |
