VIOLATIONS OF MEDIA FREEDOM

Violations of media freedom and political/financial pressure are experienced

in Mongolia.

This is a great concern and makes it difficult for Mongolian media to fulfilltheir role as a watchdog .

Owners of dominant television station s unscrupulously exploit their positionin attempt to control news coverage and political debates and to excludeopposition views.

Huge disadvantaged groups (herders, migrants and poor people) have limitedaccess to express themselves in the media and are general excluded from the

public sphere.

In 2006, State-Run broadcaster was transformed into Public

broadcaster.
