Today, the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation SRG presented a new study on their coverage on culture. What does it say about video games?
A new study shows that only 2.27% of the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation's (SRG) cultural content is about games

For the first time, the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation commissioned a systematic analysis of cultural content within its editorial offerings. The SGDA welcomes the publication of the study, supports culture as an anchor in the SRG's programming and sees the study as an important first step. The SGDA also welcomes that the study explicitly recognizes games as a cultural sector for the first time, acknowledging that video games are an integral part of Switzerland’s contemporary cultural landscape.

At the same time, the study also highlights a significant imbalance in representation. According to the report, only 2.27% of cultural coverage is dedicated to games, while other cultural sectors such as film, music, and folklore receive substantially more attention. This does not reflect the actual importance of games in today’s media consumption and cultural life in Switzerland.Video games are among the most important forms of entertainment, cultural expression and digital communication – particularly for younger generations. They combine storytelling, art, music, technology, and interactive design, and they represent one of the fastest-growing creative industries worldwide. Switzerland is home to a vibrant and internationally recognized game development scene that deserves greater visibility within the public-service media landscape.

The SGDA therefore sees the study as a valuable anchor point in monitoring the cultural coverage, as well as a clear indication that games should be more strongly represented in the SRG’s cultural coverage and broader cultural strategy. As a public-service broadcaster, the SRG has a responsibility to reflect the full diversity of contemporary Swiss culture – and a medium which is consumed by 57% of the Swiss population deserves more than 2.27% of the cultural discourse.
