Summary
Reports on preparations
for the July
31st harmonized elections by Zimbabwe’s electoral authorities,
including campaigns by Zimbabwe’s main parties, overshadowed
any other issue in the mainstream media in the period under review.
The media carried
1 416 reports on elections, 735 (52%) of which appeared in the official
state media. The remaining 681 were contained in the private media.
Of the 1 416 reports, 835 (59%) were on the campaign activities
of the parties. Three hundred and fifty-four (25%) were on the administration
of the elections. This was followed by general reports (179) on
the elections.
These reports,
which constituted 13 percent of the media’s election stories,
mostly comprised calls by a cross-section of the Zimbabwean society
appealing to the public to observe peace during the elections. The
remaining 48 (3%) were on election-related rights violations.
