swissinfo is a nine-language news and information platform produced by SRG SSR, the Swiss public broadcasting corporation. Its content is Swiss-centred, with top priority given to in-depth information on politics, the economy, the arts, science, education and tourism. Switzerland's international political, economic and cultural relations are other key points of focus. The website has nine language versions (German, French, Italian, English, Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Chinese and Japanese), and also features blogs.

In the mid 1990s, economic circumstances forced swissinfo to take a new strategic direction. The internet was advancing fast, heralding a new era for the producing journalists and the Swiss Radio International (SRI) audience alike. The German, French, English and Portuguese sites went online in 1999. The Japanese, Italian and Spanish sites followed in 2000, with Arabic going live on 1 February 2001 and Chinese in September of the same year. Within just two years, the internet platform for expatriate Swiss was already better known than SRI's short-wave radio services.
