On April 27 Yerevan Press Club released the results of the monitoring
of media coverage of the election campaign on April 16-23. 13 TV
channels, one radio channel and four newspapers were monitored.
Coverage in broadcast media is balanced and neutral but there are
also irregularities. The Republican Party appears on TV 10-30 times
more often than the others. Moreover, the reports on the Republican
Party are longer.
The ARF Dashnaktsutyun is the second and the Prosperous Armenia Party
- the third. This also refers to the monitored newspapers where the
Republican Party appears most frequently, then come the Prosperous
Armenia Party and the ARF Dashnaktsutyun.
According to the results of the monitoring, H1 Channel does not cover
the election actively. Furthermore, the reports and the speech of
hosts about the opposition contain irony. "H1 provided to all the
parties as much airtime as ALM channel to the People's Party." 93
percent of the airtime of the People's Party is provided by the ALM
channel. It is impossible to get deep and detailed information on
other forces on ALM, the monitoring concluded.
Armenia Channel provides 3 times less time for the coverage of the
election.
There is no political advertisement on H2 Channel and Armenia. This
is determined by high prices on political advertisement set by these
channels.
On the whole, political advertisement is expensive in all TV companies,
which implies that "a prearranged and controlled policy is conducted".
On Yerkir Media the ARF Dashnaktsutyun appears more
frequently. Meanwhile, on Kentron on April 18-23 the ARF Dashnaktsutyun
was mentioned most of all.
