SwissInfo was established in 1999 by the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation (SBC), the national public broadcaster of Switzerland. The SBC, a non-profit media organization funded by the Swiss government and public license fees, created SwissInfo as a way to provide news and insights about Switzerland to an international audience in multiple languages. Recognizing the importance of sharing Switzerland's perspectives and developments with the global community, the SBC launched SwissInfo to serve as an authoritative and trusted source of information about the country. Today, SwissInfo continues to be owned and operated by the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation. Based in Bern, Switzerland, the website covers a wide range of topics, including politics, business, science, culture, and sports, with a focus on issues and events related to Switzerland and its role on the global stage. One interesting fact: SwissInfo is unique in that it operates in multiple languages, including English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Chinese, allowing it to reach a diverse global audience and provide a Swiss perspective on international affairs.
