Vote 2012: Monitoring reveals print media bias in campaign coverage

During the pre-election period Armenian print media were full of unbalanced coverage and served more campaigning than informational goals, according to a study that also revealed a huge interest that newspapers showed in the process.

The monitoring conducted on March 12-May 5 showed that a total of 16 newspapers (combined selling only several thousand copies a day) published nearly 5,000 stories and articles related to the May 6 parliamentary elections.

Representatives of the Armenian Public Relations Association (APRA) that carried out the project say that they had thoroughly analyzed each newspaper item about the elections before arriving at the conclusion.
