MMP-2013

i'm here from mf-n, have an mmp int. and exp., since 1999 polls -- on top, got a ck-npi invite, a chance to share my thoughts

the elections, in a democracy, respect the right of:

The VOTER

The CANDIDATE

Media monitoring involves collecting data and carrying out analysis of elections-related content of print, broadcast and online media, and presenting the results.

media monitoring provides broader benefits to an electoral process ... evaluating the extent to which elections were fair in terms of freedom of expression by the media, voters and candidates; acting as an early warning system for elections-related violence; promoting the participation of women and minorities; and enhancing media literacy of elections officials and the public at large

EMBs contract outside experts to monitor the media, or to collaborate with the university media studies or other social science departments or civil society organisations.

Why MMP

MMP-2008 began with the objective to assess the nature of media access to political parties and their candidates, balance in the coverage of their viewpoints, the range and adequacy of voters' education programs, the representation of Election Commission and communication of its messages, and the observance of Election Code of Conduct by the mass media.

EMBs want to: 1. determine rule on access to the media are being respected – for example, in the allocation and timing of free direct access or advertising slots, 2. review political parties and candidates fair access and coverage in news;3. identify any emerging issue relating to electoral management or the conduct of the campaign that the EMB itself may have to address;4. see how the activities of the EMB itself are being reported.

Standard Practice

Common: Media monitoring has become a common feature of elections since the mid-1990s.

Monitoring usually uses "quantitative analysis" or "qualitative analysis" of media content, or both.

The Unit: has a media analyst, a number of trained media monitors familiar with the political context and the media situation in the country -- with a background in media studies and/or experience in sociological research are preferable

monitors should not work as journalists or be members of political parties or movements

not just important, but standard practice in the management of elections

Legit Elex

For example, during the ... Bolivian referendum, there were few (though some) accusations of ballot-stuffing or denying of voting privledges, ... the greater election violation was the monopolization of television advertisment time by the the Morales government.

Yet international obeservers, often the most quoted in western newspapers, were only present for a few days before and after elections, thus the lack of balanced coverage was under reported. Are there suggestions on how this can be avoided?

Democracy

informed choice

media: channel of information between

the contestants and the public, an arena for public debate, inform citizens of the policies and platforms of candidates and parties, enable voters

to make an informed decision when they cast their ballots.

report on campaign developments, inform voters on how to exercise their rights, monitor the electoral process, and report the results to the public.

it is important to consider their degree of autonomy, i.e., their freedom from political or other interference, as well as the degree of media diversity.

inter-related rights and duties: of the voters, of the parties and candidates, and of the media themselves
