Let’s team up

The We.Publish Foundation promotes media diversity in Switzerland with an innovative approach: they offer open-source publishing tools to small and regional, independent media establishments, creating necessary digital infrastructure.

Opendata.ch empowers people to make our society more open, innovative and fair with open knowledge. Our activities cover Data Literacy, Data Access & Accessibility and Civic Engagement.

Since 2015, tsüri advocates for a sustainable, open, modern and ecological society. This only works with mutual trust between the user and the editorial office. This is why they promote transparency, authenticity and independence. They actively stimulate their target’s group political consciousness. Users aren’t educated top-down but are fed with inputs, that spark independent opinion creation.

bajour is Basel’s online voice. They find out what moves Basel: They go out, talk to people and use their journalistic senses and experience. Their editorial team summarises the most important events in the Basel Briefing – daily on time for your breakfast.
