Headline: Federal law on electronic media is to be revised

The Government Council rejects the draft new law on electronic media, as stated in its opinion to the Federal Department of Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications. The new law is intended to open up the possibility that in future, in addition to radio and television, online media can also contribute to and promote public media services. The background is the progressive digitization that has led to a change in media offerings and usage. This funding is funded by the household levy, which replaces the device-dependent billag fee. Furthermore, the print media are not considered.
