The socialist administrative councilor of the City of Geneva Sami Kanaan believes that the French-speaking cantons should coordinate in order to help the press. The model sought could approach the Fondation romande pour le cinma, the magistrate said in several media on Tuesday.
For the moment, in the cantons of Geneva and Vaud, everyone is moving forward, while maintaining regular contacts, in particular within the framework of the Conference of Governments of Western Switzerland. A meeting is to be fixed soon, said Sami Kanaan.
In the meantime, the City of Geneva has decided to take action to support the press. The aid will be around 80,000 francs. As of June 1, newspapers will no longer pay to occupy the cash boxes installed on municipal territory. The City will also finance debates and make young people aware of the issue. They are mainly informed through the internet. The main challenge is to make them understand that information structures, tays, verifies, at a cost, noted Sami Kanaan.
