CJI Report: Moldova 1 prioritizes public interest
Moldova 1 primarily presented news and analysis in a neutral manner, with reduced coverage of political topics.
This suggests a potential shift towards 'depoliticization' of public television news and a greater emphasis on public interest.
Of the 83 reports aired across 7 editions of 'Mesager,' only 8 lacked direct sources. This significant improvement contrasts with the previous monitoring period (2023), where nearly every fourth report lacked direct citations.
The CJI experts noted that both the ruling party and the parliamentary opposition were represented in a balanced and objective manner.
Compared to the previous monitoring period (December 1-7, 2023), Moldova 1 showed a slight improvement in journalistic quality, with fewer instances of ethical violations.
