Electronic
media report for Wednesday, July 17th 2013
Summary
All the electronic
media missed the news that uniformed forces and civil servants who
failed to cast their vote in the just-ended special
early voting exercise conducted by the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission
will not legally be entitled to get a second chance to do so in
the July 31 elections. Only NewsDay the next morning (18/7 see below)
reported this citing section 81B: 2 of the Electoral
Law.
The electronic
media focused mainly on party campaigns going on nationwide and
the chaotic nature of the special voting process.
The
stats
- The electronic
media carried a total of 29 election-related stories. [Party campaigns
18, administrative issues of the elections eight and three reports
on other election related matters].
- Of the 29
reports, the public broadcaster, ZBC, had 13 election-related
stories, (ZTV nine and Spot FM four).
- The private
radio stations carried 16 stories. [ZiFM five, Star FM three,
Studio 7 and SWRA four apiece].
- There were
no stories on political violence in the bulletins of both the
public and privately owned electronic media.
- ZTV allocated
13 minutes 59 seconds to Zanu-PF campaign activities in its evening
main news bulletin, while it only allocated only 2 minutes 17
seconds to MDC-T activity.
