34. Are there provisions for free or subsidized access to media for candidates?

Bertelsmann Stiftung (2011) Switzerland report, Sustainable Governance Indicators 2011

P 10, 'Candidates and parties may purchase political advertising in the print media. The only restriction to the equal access by candidates and parties to these media outlets concerns the availability of resources. In contrast, political advertising on television or other broadcast mediums is unlawful. In that regard, all candidates and parties are equal in access, in the sense that none has a chance to buy political advertising on broadcast media.' [no mention of free or subsidised access]
