Monitoring of the media coverage prior to 7 November elections in Burma – Report n.1 (August 2010)

By MEMO 98 • October 15, 2010

Since August 2010, MEMO 98 has been systematically monitoring the media coverage of the 7 November parliamentary elections in Burma (Myanmar). The project’s goal is to provide an accurate picture of the state and independent media’s behaviour in the campaign prior to Burma’s elections. Over a period of three months, the project seeks to evaluate the mass media’s performance in providing objective and balanced coverage of the candidates and their platforms so the citizens of Burma can make well-informed choices at the ballot box. The project’s findings are determined through a well-defined and rigorous methodology and are not intended to support any one candidate or political party, but the integrity of the media environment as a whole during the campaign season.
