Televiziunea Central\u0103 <\/strong>presented representatives of the \u0218or Political Party (\u0218or PP) and implicitly the party\u2019s candidate Violeta Ivanov mostly in a positive light and the other candidates and parties mainly in neutral tones.\u00a0Prime TV<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Publika TV <\/strong>covered presidential candidates relatively neutrally, and the tone of materials about state agencies was mainly neutral and occasionally positive. The coverage of political parties was neutral except the \u0218or PP, which had many positive reports on Prime TV.<\/p>\n Jurnal TV<\/strong>,\u00a0Pro TV<\/strong>, and\u00a0TV8 <\/strong>had a relatively balanced policy, without a clear trend to present state agencies, presidential candidates, and political parties in a positive light. A few of these actors received negative coverage.<\/p>\n By monitoring the media, CJI intended to inform the public about the behavior of the press during the election campaign and the access of election candidates to media coverage and to notify regulatory entities about the trends that could impact the performance of media outlets or compromise their capacity to offer trustworthy, detached, and pluralistic information.<\/p>\n CJI recommends the Broadcasters Council to use the monitoring reports to assess themselves and to see whether the monitored TV stations observed the right to full, objective, and trustworthy information. All told, the monitoring covered ten radio stations: Moldova 1, Prime TV, Publika TV, Jurnal TV, NTV Moldova, Primul \u00een Moldova, Accent TV, Pro TV, TV8, and Televiziunea Central\u0103. The broadcasters were selected by the following criteria: audience\/impact (national, regional), type of media (broadcasting), ownership form (public, private), broadcasting language (Romanian, Russian).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/alegeliber.md\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/1-200x100.jpg\")
