Context of reporting – Media driven or official calendar?

On average, reporting based on the official calendar remains above half of all reporting (58%), but decreased slightly, by two percentage points. Behind the general trend is an opposing development amongst media types. National radios considerably enlarged reporting based on their initiative (by +12% points) but the newspapers’ initiative decreased. TV and local radio experienced only a very small increase.
