Report on the First Two Weeks of the Official Election Campaign

MEDIA COMMISSION Media Monitoring Report The first two weeks of the official election campaign 17 – 30 August, 2005

Media Monitoring Report The first two weeks of the official election campaign (17 August – 30 August 2005)

In this report:

• The total amount of coverage dedicated to candidates still remains low in the first two weeks of the official campaign. However, there is a small intensification compared to the findings of pre-election period: from an average of a couple of minutes per broadcaster to about five minutes. This is mainly due to the Sponsored Advertisement Program. • Total number of identified Sponsored Advertisement Programs broadcast in the first two weeks of the election period counts for 311. • Among the candidates with the greatest coverage on the monitored media in the indicated period, 72% are running to WJ and 28% to Provincial Councils; 84% are male and 16% female candidates. • Except for Ms. Noorzia Atmer who is a presenter still currently working on the state- owned RTA Nangarhar Radio, no other presenter running as candidate has been found on air in the first two weeks of the election campaign. The request made by the Media Commission not to give unfair advantage to journalists running as candidates was successfully implemented. However, Ms. Zakia Zakee, candidate to WJ (03-78-0001) and manager of Radio Sada-e-Sulh (Voice of Peace) from Parwan province is receiving many opportunities to speak on its station. • When it comes to the press, 17 printed advertisements were identified as such. • No explicit hate was found. • Mostly ordinary and local candidate have received coverage on the monitored mass media. • From Helmand province still no candidate has appeared on the monitored media. • From Kandahar province no candidate on the state-owned radio and TV channels was broadcast yet, apparently because candidates are waiting for last two weeks of campaign.
