Both public and private media could make a stronger effort, especially during electoral campaign period, to avoid accepting monetary support by political parties in order to get their activities covered. Although the financial and logistical limitations on the Guinean media sector are huge, these are bad practices that clearly jeopardize the independence and neutrality of the journalists. The publication and airing of political ads might be considered and discussed in detail by all actors involved in the electoral process since it is a common practice in other countries.
