Russia’s Election Authority Noticed No Media Predominance
Russia’s Central Election Commission Chairman Vladimir Churov presented to foreign observers the report on media monitoring in time of election campaign. It’s for the first time that the country’s election body monitored mass media for this purpose.
“You will see that neither party dominates, but there is predominance of four parties represented in the State Duma,” RIA Novosti quoted Churov as saying.
As the Central Election Commission took pains to distinguish between reports about policymakers as bureaucrats and reports about them as candidates to the State Duma, its rating of the media coverage doesn’t show excessive attention to President Vladimir Putin, ministers, governors and other representatives of authorities that are running to the State Duma from United Russia.
The monitoring held by Lenta.ru and Medialogia manifested that representatives of parliamentary parties – United Russia, Fair Russia, CPRF and LDPR – were most popular with mass media and enjoyed the most-favored information status.
