SRF

SRF is listed as Center on Crosswire: as a public-service broadcaster its mandate is broad, balanced coverage rather than a party-political editorial line. In Switzerland, NZZ is listed as Right-leaning — so you can open SRF beside a title of a different orientation and compare the same day's front pages directly.

Read SRF beside another title from Switzerland and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Public-service broadcasters usually carry a wider spread of civic, regional and cultural stories than commercial rivals, and lead less often on conflict or celebrity — so the gap between SRF's front page and a commercially funded one is often less about opinion than about what each considers newsworthy in the first place. Because SRF is listed near the centre, it works best as the fixed point in a comparison — put a left- and a right-leaning Switzerland title either side of it and the direction each one pulls becomes measurable rather than impressionistic.
