Macedonia – Presidential and Early Parliamentary Elections 2014
Media Monitoring
From 17 March through 13 April, Transparency International Macedonia, in cooperation with a UK-based
Electoral Reform International Services (ERIS) and a Slovak media-monitoring organization MEMO 98
and with the support of the European Union, has monitored seven television channels (MRT-1, MRT-2,
Sitel, Kanal 5, Alsat-M, Telma and Vesti 24), two radio stations (MR-1 and Kanal 77), four
newspapers (Dnevnik, Sloboden Pecat, Republika and Focus) and one online media outlet (TV
Nova). The monitoring included quantitative and qualitative methods of analysis. Quantitative analysis
includes a number of numeric measures and indicators that can be counted and analysed, including
assessing and producing findings regarding the time or space allocated to each contestant or other relevant
political subjects (in the prime time news programmes) and also evaluating the tone of the coverage in
which these subjects were portrayed – positive, neutral or negative.
Qualitative analysis evaluates the performance of selected media outlets against ethical and professional
standards, such as balance, accuracy, timely, choice of issues, omission of information, advantage of
incumbency, positioning of items, inflammatory language etc. The enclosed charts show the coverage of
political parties and other relevant subjects in the prime time news programs.
