The topic of the 22^nd edition of the “Media Azi” broadcast refers to the conclusions of the first reports on monitoring the media behavior during the current election campaign, which showed that a large part of the media, especially televisions, are biased and do not provide equal access to all candidates.

The Broadcasting Coordinating Council (BCC) issued on Monday, October 17, a public warning to several broadcasters registered in Moldova for violations of Article 7 paragraphs (2), (3) and (4) letter c) of the Broadcasting Code, which have been noted in the BCC’s first report on monitoring the election campaign.

Organizațiile de media din R. Moldova califică decizia Guvernului, din 12 octombrie curent, de a propune demiterea lui Ion Terguță din funcția de director al Companiei Teleradio „MIR”, drept o reacție de răspuns la criticile pe care jurnalistul le aduce adesea la adresa actualei guvernări, la poziția tranșantă pe care acesta a luat-o în probleme stringente pentru mass-media din Moldova, cum sunt concentrarea presei în mâinile unui grup de oameni politici, monopolul de pe piața publicității etc.
