Abstract
It is often stated that journalism and the media are going through some fundamental changes. In this article,
we present a description of the journalists in Switzerland, based on a nation-wide survey conducted in
2015. This data gives a quantitative description of journalists in Switzerland. Furthermore, this article makes
comparison between various groups of journalists, for example between the different language regions in
Switzerland, in order to give a differentiated picture of who the journalists are, what their working situation
looks like and how they perceive their own professional role in society.
