Interim Report no. 2: Media and Elections in Sudan Monitoring the Coverage of Sudan 2010 Elections
The coverage of the election campaign was extensive and regular over the period observed. The media provided large amounts of information on the main contestants, parties and issues using a variety of formats and programmes.
The races for the National Presidency, the National Assembly and the GoSS Presidency dominated TV reporting. Radio coverage reflected the geographical locations of channels and their corresponding journalistic priorities: stations broadcasting from the North tended to focus on candidates for the National Assembly and the National Presidency. Radios broadcasting from the South devoted the largest part of their airtime to the race for Goss National Assembly and Presidency.
Presidential elections – both for the National and GoSS Presidency – dominated press coverage too. President Al Bashir and President Salva Kiir were the most covered candidates for their respective elections in all media.
