Closure of Swiss magazine L’Hebdo: Another blow to media pluralism
Ringier Axel Springer announced on January 23 their plans to close French-speaking magazine L’Hebdo. Impressum, the largest journalists’ organisation and the Trade Union of Media and Communications Syndicom are both deeply concerned about the potential negative impact of the decision on media pluralism, investigative journalism and the future of the media in French-speaking Switzerland. The EFJ expressed its solidarity with their Swiss affiliates and offer full support. A petition was also launched and supported by both EFJ affliates to demand alternative financial plans to continue or return the title. @EFJEUROPE @lhebdo @IFJGlobal signez la pétition pour @lhebdo https://t.co/zhle3ihJtF — syndicom…
