In February, the media had the minimum reporting on the work of the Parliament, coinciding with directing the public interest towards the press-conferences of the Opposition and leaking of the supposedly wiretapped audio recordings of high state officials.
The Parliament in February is mostly mentioned in the context of the wider political situation in the state and the relations among parties. The information seldom refers to the parliamentary debates and the arguments of the MPs, compared to previous months.
The presence of “other” sources like foreign diplomats, parliamentarians and other representatives considerably rose in the media information, owing to Johannes Hann’s visit in Skopje, Commissioner on European Neighborhood Policy and Enlargement Negotiations.
Main sources of media information, referring to the Parliament are the MPs. Nevertheless, in most of the information, only MPs from one political option are cited. In addition, MPs from the leading parties are more present than those from the Opposition.
These are part of the findings from the Sixth Monitoring Report on media reporting for the work of the Parliament
