Number of Perspectives

Reporting with perspectives was weak. On average, 40% of the units analyzed, did not provide any perspective, compared to only 23% without a perspective in 2018. In terms of media types, TV had more units (48%) without perspectives.

The best performer was JamiiForums that had only 8% of the units without a perspective, and 40% of its units had two or even more perspectives. Lack of perspectives and thus in-depth reporting is one of the biggest challenges facing the media in the country.
