GUIDELINES ON MEDIA ANALYSIS DURING ELECTION OBSERVATION MISSIONS

Abstract

"These guidelines are intended to explain the media component of standard OSCE/ODIHR, European Union and Council of Europe election observation missions. They also describe a methodology for assessing how the media behave during an election campaign. These guidelines are not definitive. They do not provide a methodology that must be followed; rather they offer a synthesis of the experiences, practises and lessons learned by OSCE/ODIHR and other international organizations involved in international election observation."
