The "TIM" Research Center and the Yerevan Press Club (YPC) presented
today the regular intermediate report on the results of the monitoring
of the coverage of pre-election campaign by the Armenian media in
the period starting from April 24 and to May 5, Mediamax reports.
The Chairman of the YPC Boris Navasardyan stated that during the
12 days of monitoring the audience of the Armenian media had the
opportunity to receive information about the majority of political
forces, participating in the election campaign. At the same time,
he stated, the given statement concerns mostly the citizens of the
capital, which has a larger choice of channels.
Boris Navasardian stated that from the four channels, which devoted
most of the time to the coverage of the activities of political
parties /ALM, Second Armenian TV-Channel, Yerkir Media and Kentron/,
only two of them broadcast in the regions of the country.
35% of the air time of ALM, devoted to the parties, fell on the share
of the People's Party, 28% - the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA). 83%
of the broadcast time of the Second Armenian TV-Channel fell on the
share of four parties - Dashnaktsutiyun, United Liberal-National
Party, Republican Party and Prosperous Armenia Party.
Boris Navasardyan noted that relatively more balanced was the coverage
of the pre-election campaign by the Public TV and the Public Radio
of Armenia. He expressed an opinion that this is conditioned by the
greater attention of the international observers to the activity of
the Public TV and Radio Company.
