24 December 2018 | "Temps Présent" Eric Felley's regrets
It's certainly not the kind of article that makes headlines, but that's no reason to pass up an opportunity to thank Le Matin and its journalist Eric Felley. On Christmas Eve 2018, the "lematin.ch" website carried an article headlined "Dominique Giroud's wife died suddenly in Valais". [...]

In a letter sent today to the Board of Trustees of the Swiss Press Council, Dominique Giroud calls on the authority that oversees media ethics to reopen the "Yves Steiner" case, named after the journalist who was caught cheating, lying, threatening, betraying, [...].
20 April 2018 | Yves Steiner and RTS before the Swiss Press Council
By a combination of circumstances, a particularly original corpus from the point of view of media ethics is now available. It concerns the recording by the police of telephone conversations between a journalist and one of his sources. For the first time in the history of journalism in Switzerland - and perhaps even more widely - it is possible to [...]

In a ruling handed down on 15 February 2018, the Swiss Federal Supreme Court has ruled against RTS and upheld the sentence imposed in 2016 on the "Temps Présent" report on Dominique Giroud.

In August 2014, Dominique Giroud lodged an appeal for denial of justice with the Valais Cantonal Court.

Objective achieved. The [...]
24 June 2015 | The zeal of the Swiss Trade Commission leaves one wondering
Ah, media pressure! How many have not succumbed to it in the past? The Swiss Control of the Wine Trade (CSCV) now belongs to the category of weak institutions that kowtow to the media. The directors of the CSCV panicked and lost their wits. They published false figures and [...]
