Swiss Criminal Code

¹ Me­dia or­gan­isa­tions are ob­liged, at the re­quest of any per­son, to re­veal im­me­di­ately and in writ­ing their place of busi­ness and the iden­tity of those re­spons­ible for their pub­lic­a­tions (Art. 28 para. 2 and 3).³⁸⁷

² News­pa­pers, magazines or peri­od­ic­als must in­dic­ate in an im­print the place of busi­ness of their me­dia or­gan­isa­tion, sig­ni­fic­ant hold­ings in oth­er or­gan­isa­tions and the ed­it­or re­spons­ible. If the ed­it­or is re­spons­ible only for part of the news­pa­per, magazine or peri­od­ic­al, it must be in­dic­ated that he is the ed­it­or re­spons­ible for that part. De­tails of the ed­it­ors re­spons­ible must be giv­en for each part of the news­pa­per, magazine or peri­od­ic­al.

³ In the event of any vi­ol­a­tion of the pro­vi­sions of this Art­icle, the man­ager of the me­dia or­gan­isa­tion shall be li­able to a fine. If the per­son in­dic­ated as ed­it­or (Art. 28 para. 2 and 3) does not in fact hold such a po­s­i­tion, this also con­sti­tutes an of­fence.³⁸⁸
