Essential - The CNCS to take a more proactive role in sanctioning the press, especially over the campaign period, to ensure objectivity and independence of and media. The electoral administration should also reinforce its role in the same regard.
Addressed to - Gov.; NationalAssembly; CNCS; Media.
Possible Improvements Suggested:
- Ammend the Law on the National Council for Social Communication (Lei sobre o Conselho Nacional de Comunicação Social 7/92) to confer sanctioning powers on the CNCS.
- A media monitoring unit should be established within the CNCS to monitor coverage of the election campaign. Methodological support could be requested from international organisations.
Timeline - Within next year.
