Monitoring Mongolian Media 2000
FOREWORD
The “Monitoring Mongolian Media” project has the pleasure to present its next report, “Monitoring Mongolian
Media 2000”. This is the third publication released under the project. In our first report published in September 2000, we have presented the objectives of the
project, the qualities distinguishing it from other surveys, including the research methodology as well as
the background information pool defining the media situation in Mongolia in 1999. The second report released
in February, 2001, was a mid-year report, less comprehensive in scope and size and, giving a systematic
presentation of the media development in the first half
of 2000.
In this third publication we have tried to highlight updated figures for 2000 in comparison to 1999, to outline
changes and development in the media sector, in particular, figures featuring the number of media outlets,
types of their operation, circulation and distribution scope
of newspapers, number of electronic media, their broadcasting hours and programming structure, staff of local
and national media institutions and their technical facilities for the past two years.
Since the “Monitoring Mongolian Media” was set up in
1999, the state of Mongolian media and changes in
this sector are becoming more visible and transparent
by objective data. We owe the successful continuation
of this project to the staff of media outlets: thanks to the
realization of the importance of this project and taking
part in its implementation by regularly providing data
on their outlets, we have been able to present this report. To our appreciation, along with supplying information on their media outlets, they also have been providing information on new launches or closings in their
area / branch, contributing their suggestions to improve
the methodology and outcome of the project. Thanks
also go to all who shared with us concerns and ideas
on obstacles and hardships facing Mongolian media,
on ways to tackle them and to wellwishers for success
to the monitoring project, as well as to its critics.
Thanks also to the Danish International Development
Agency and Danish-Mongolian Society for their keen
recognition the missing factor of statistical data on Mongolian media and supporting the activities to make the
documentation project possible.

As before information gathering for 2000 has primarily
been based on questionnaires. We applied our experiences gained from the previous surveys, and we have
also taken feedback provided by media workers and
researchers into consideration to enhance the questionnaires. During the year 2000, we sent out 3 questionnaires to media outlets, two of which were short
questionnaires aimed at documentation of the development on a quarterly basis1. The third was a detailed
annual questionnaire for determining the state of the
media for the year.
Although the figures published in the “Mongolian Media
Monitoring 2000” report are based on publishers declarations in the third annual questionnaire at the end of the
year, we have also covered outlets that failed to answer
the annual questionnaire, but have taken part in the previous two quarterly surveys (see the half-year report for
2000 to look for data for the previous two surveys).
The third set of questionnaires for 2000 have been distributed in January to a total of 261 media organizations. 176 questionnaires were filled out and returned,
information on 28 outlets were collected by telephone
and face-to-face interviews. 16 questionnaires were returned without finding the addressee. Compared to the
recollection of 71 questionnaires over the course of the
first monitoring survey, the number of the unclaimed
questionnaires this time dropped drastically. On one
hand, it might be an illustration of the successful conduct of constant correspondence and links with media
organizations, on the other hand, it could be a sign that
the media organizations are set on a stabilization trend
in comparison to the previous year.
Although it was initially envisaged to conduct monitoring
surveys on a quarterly basis, we have postponed the
survey for the second quarter of 2000 given the fact that
campaigns for parliamentary and local elections in that year
could create difficulties in gathering data. So we have
combined the survey for second and third quarter of 2000.
1
In future, the Monitoring Mongolian Media project will operate
on a biannual basis and send out questionnaires every six
months only.
Foreword
The documentation process of the media development
during the year 2000 did not go without obstacles. In
particular, the survey was hampered over the course of
the parliamentary and local elections. In addition, due
to the period of governmental restructuring following
the elections and reshuffle of staff and management of
some local media organizations, recollection of questionnaires were delayed impeding collection of data.
Furthermore, media inspection on the implementation
of the legal acts against promotion of prostitution, crimes
and violence through media, organized by the Justice
and Interior ministry involving two of Press Institute’s
employees affected negatively the reputation of “Monitoring Mongolian Media” project, set up as an independent section at the Press Institute. Due to this incidence,
there were cases whereby some newspapers lost their
confidence in the objectives of the project and refused
to take part in it.
Taking this opportunity, we would like to reiterate that
the Monitoring Mongolian Media project is independent of any political and economical interests while information gathering and analysis are based solely on
scientific methodology and strictly follow the principles
of respecting interests of media organizations.
We are not entitled to publish or to use figures collected
for the media survey without consent of the media outlets for any other purposes but the survey. The information provided herein, has been published at the permission of the participants of the surveys and the requests
of publishers to keep some data confidential such as
number of subscribers or total circulation have been
accepted and respected as promised.
We believe that, in the course of time, media outlets will
be convinced that the systematical media documentation based on scientific approach is being undertaken
first of all for the benefit of media themselves and that
they will continue to cooperate in future.
We hope that we have managed to expand the capacity
of the data and information in the annual report of the
project as compared to that of the previous year, despite some dilemmas encountered during the implementation of the project in 2000.
In the annual report for 1999, we covered 205 media
outlets of which 148 or 72% had participated in the
monitoring survey. This time we have gathered data on
more media outlets so that our report could establish a
more precise picture on the situation of Mongolian media as of 2000. In particular information on print media
has been enriched considerably. For instance, as opposed to 81 newspapers, 15 magazines monitored in
1999, the number of newspapers and magazines responding to questionnaires increased to 114 and 31,
respectively, in 2000.
Thus, not the increase in the number of new media outlets but possibly the higher participation rate of media
has influenced the increase in the number of media
outlets in the Monitoring Mongolian Media report for
2000.
Following is the summary for outcome of the media
monitoring.

Monitoring Mongolian Media 2000
Findings
As for the year 2000, a total of 111 newspapers, 24
magazines and 6 TV and radio stations have been
registered as new entities at the Ministry of Justice and
Interior, bringing the number of registered outlets since
1990 to more than 1270.
period of the parliamentary and local election campaign.
Although some slight growth has been detected since
the 4th quarter of 2000, the total number of daily newspaper subscribers was lower by 3425 in comparison to
the same period of the previous year.
According to the data collected under the monitoring
project in 2000, around 160 newspapers and 37 magazines by title were published in 2000, 28 radio and 29
television stations were broadcasting in addition to 8
cable TV operators.
According to the Monitoring Mongolian Media report for
1999, the total number of subscribers decreased in the
3d quarter, the summertime, but not so drastically as
observed in 2000. This concerns not only the daily
newspapers but newspapers of all other categories.
Following is the number of outlets in different categories, compared to that in the 1999 report: (figures in
bracket display the number of monitored outlets)
4 of 6 biweekly newspapers are advertisement papers.
Unfortunately, both in 1999 and 2000 newspapers of
this group have not been monitored that well so that it
was impossible to define their role on the newspaper
market.

Newspapers
The annual circulation of 5 daily newspapers together
takes a share of about 60 % of newspaper sales in the
Mongolian media market. “Odriin sonin” (Daily news),
annual sales of which was 55% of daily newspaper
circulation in 1999, sold a lower number of copies in
2000, nevertheless it maintains the leading position on
the newspaper market, 43% of all newspaper sales for
the past year.
Annual sales of the rest of daily newspapers have risen
compared to that of the previous year, in particular, the
sales figures for “Unen” increased 2,5 fold in 2000 as
against the preceding year. Number of subscribers of
daily newspapers, 37500 in the first quarter of 1999,
had been steadily increasing until the same period for
2000, reaching 44800. It fell drastically, however, to
31575 in the second and third quarters of 2000, the
4
Weekly newspapers fall into category of newspapers
with the biggest numbers of subscribers. They lead the
market in sales of a single issue (119687 copies,) and
take the second biggest share after daily newspapers
in annual circulation. The total sale of weekly newspapers is higher in the report for 2000 compared to that in
1999. However, these numbers have to be taken with
some reservation before reaching conclusions: in 2000,
there were 19 weekly newspapers against 11 in 1999
which provided data on their sales figures. So it would
be more precise to say that the higher sales figure of
weekly newspapers in 2000 is the consequence of the
fact that more weekly newspapers were monitored in
that year. Indeed, if we compare circulation figures of
newspapers only that have been monitored both in 1999
and 2000, the total numbers of sold copies in those
years are as follows: 4680607 copies for 1999 and
4143920 copies for 2000.
76 % of weekly newspapers are sold in subscription in
2000, equal to that of 1999.
6 of 28 weekly newspapers listed in this report started
publishing in 2000 (Buukhia medee, Garaas Gart,
Darkhany sonin, 7 khonog darkhand and Mongoliin
zar), 4 newspapers have changed from the bimonthly
newspapers to weekly (Alag khorvoo, Business times,
Deedsiin khureelen, Shine medee).
The number of bimonthly newspaper titles make the
most of the 163 periodicals that have been covered in
this report, as it was in 1999. The newspapers of this
category follow weekly newspapers with their average
number of subscribers per quarter, however with 10%
of the annual newspaper sales in total, they come third,
after daily and weekly newspapers, in total circulation.
Foreword
As of 1999 and 2000, in the category of bimonthly newspapers the number of new launches and newspapers
stopped to publish, as well as changes in frequency
could be detected relatively more often than in the category of daily and weekly newspapers. The single copy
sales rate of bimonthly newspapers is also higher compared to daily and weekly newspapers (54% in 1999
and 61% in 2000).
2000, the same as that of 1999. As of December 2000,
8 aimags did not have any local newspapers.
The average cover price for single copy sales as compared to the first quarter of 1999, rose by 33 % at the
end of 2000 for daily newspapers, by 29% for weekly
newspapers and by 20% for bimonthly newspapers.
No major changes have been observed in the number
of local TV stations, their ownership and coverage areas, except for increase of transmission time of some
broadcasters. Compared to 150 hours weekly transmission time 1999, local TV stations broadcast about
330 hours in 2000.
Radio and Television
Except the increase in the weekly transmission time of
some local radio and television stations in 2000, no
significant changes have been observed regarding the
number, ownership and programming of electronic
media that broadcast either nationwide and in the capital city of Ulaanbaatar.
Local media
Outside the capital Ulaanbaatar and outskirts Baganuur
and Nalaikh, a total of 12 newspapers were newly
established while 16 media outlets have (temporarily)
stopped their operations. As of December, 2000, a total
of 24 newspapers were being published in the local
areas. 26 newspapers (including those suspended their
operation in the course of the year) were monitored.
Bimonthly newspapers do play the most significant role
in the countryside. “Shine medee” newspaper of Orkhon
aimag previously published every 10 -14 days became a weekly one, 2 weekly newspapers were newly
established in 2000, both in Darkhan (Darkhany sonin
and 7 khonog Darkhand).
As for the end of 1999, the average circulation of local
newspapers per issue was 750 copies. In the first half of
2000, the circulation per issue has slightly increased
reaching an average of 815 copies, declined however
to 750 again in the second half of the year (see the half
- year report for 2000). The total annual circulation of
local newspapers rose slightly from about 390000 in
1999 to about 406000 in 2000. Nevertheless, the local
newspapers barely made 2 % of the total number of
newspapers sold in subscription and at newsstands in
8 aimags also ended the year 2000 without any operating local radio stations. In Khovd aimag the local radio
Tungalag Buyant FM 104 halted its operation in August
of 2000, new FM radio stations were established in
Sukhbaatar and Zavkhan aimags.
The monitored local media employed about 200 people
on a regular basis, making 11% of media workers in
total. Local media staff are paid two times half as much
as their counterparts in Ulaanbaatar and their most important, almost only working equipment is a telephone.
Since 1999 the number of tecniques and equipment for
local media has not increased, but the ratio of equipment per 10 full time employee decreased.
Staff and equipment
A total of 1770 people work for media full time, about
160 people work part time. 44% of the total staff work for
print media, 20% for radio and 36% for television.
Editorial staff (journalists, reporters, editors ) make 49%
of the whole media staff. 43 % of the editorial staff are
holders of university degree in journalism, 14% are linguists, translators and literature analysts, 9% professionals of natural and technical sciences, 6% do not
have any certain specialization.
People of 24 - 35 dominate in the total media staff and
as for the gender balance, the number of female workers in print media is slightly higher than male, while it is
the opposite in radio and TV stations.
In the expansion of the technical equipment in media,
number of computer sets, in particular those with access to internet increased slightly since 1999, however
its ratio per 10 full time employees almost did not change.
And other technical equipment per 10 full time employees declined.
