Foreword and Executive Summary
This report provides the findings of the media monitoring activities in the period from 15 May to 23
May 2010. This is the eighth media monitoring report published by the Sudan Media and Elections
Consortium (SMEC). The Sudan Media and Elections Consortium (SMEC) was established to
implement the Media and Elections Project in Sudan. One of the main activities of the SMEC is media
monitoring of Sudanese media’s election coverage. The media monitoring takes place all over Sudan
with two main joint media monitoring units, one in Khartoum and one in Juba. There are also parallel
media monitoring units set up in various states. The media monitoring units commenced their activities
on 13 February coinciding with the beginning of the election campaign and will continue after that date
in order to assess post-election coverage and the coverage of election re-runs in several states. The
SMEC carries out media monitoring of four TV stations, seventeen radio channels and thirteen
newspapers on a daily basis1. All selected media are monitored according to a methodological approach
created in 1995 and based on content analysis. The monitoring of election and political coverage is
based on both quantitative and qualitative analysis and aims to observe and assess the extent to which
media provide fair and balanced coverage of politicians and other stakeholders. The project also
monitors hate speech or inflammatory language to assess whether the media acted as agents of
pacification or rather contributed to increase any potential tensions related to elections.
Over the last weeks no remarkable trends were noticed compared to the first post election period. The
media still devote a lot of time and space to the two major political parties. As the inauguration of
Salve Kiir as president for GOSS took place during this period, this news dominated the media. Other
topics included the opening of the National Assembly and the election of the States councils. The total
airtime to NCP and SPLM of television stations monitored, show a balanced picture, but looking at the
television stations individually, it is found that the stations broadcasting from the North like Sudan TV
and Khartoum State TV allocated most of their time to political actors to NCP (75.6 % and 85.2 %
respectively) whereas the station targeting the South, Southern Sudan TV, allocate most of its time to
SPLM (96.7 %). Only Blue Nile TV gives a more balanced coverage to the two political actors, 28.3 %
to SPLM and 57 % to NCP.
The number of hate speech cases decreased further, from 24 cases in the previous report to 10 cases in
this reporting period. Most of the cases were accusations from political parties or leaders to others and
only found in the English press. Some of these cases touched upon Referendum related issues, for
instance there were accusations that NCP did not do enough to keep the country united. These are the
first indications that the campaign for the Referendum has started in the English media.
The Media and Elections Project, funded by United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), is implemented by the
Sudan Media and Elections Consortium (SMEC), a group of national and international organisations with expertise in media
support. These are: Sudanese Development Initiative (SUDIA), International Media Support (IMS), Norwegian Peoples Aid
(NPA), Osservatorio di Pavia, Arab Working Group for media monitoring and Fojo Media Institute.

II. Post-election political coverage: general trends2
Over the present monitoring period, the airtime devoted to political actors in news coverage differed
amongst the different media outlets. In line with previous reports, Omdurman Radio, Khartoum State
Radio and Sudan TV were the channels showing the largest volume of election and political news
coverage.

2 The present report is focused only on news coverage. This is for a number of reasons: the decrease in attention to election-
related issues, as well as the estimated reach and audiences of news broadcasts vis-à-vis other genres of media reporting. 3 Radio Junubna did not cover any political actors over the period monitored in this report.

Political events and issues were mainly covered through news reporting and congratulatory messages to
the successful candidates.
In the media targeting Northern audiences the agenda was dominated by a few issues: the arrest of the
leader of PCP, Hassan Turabi; the Government’s calls on Interpol to arrest Khalil Ibrahim, leader of the
Justice and Equality Movement; the closing of Ray Elsha'b newspaper; President Kiir’s oath as head of
government in the South; the National Assembly opening and the election of the States councils. The
key events characterising the political agenda of Southern media were essentially related to the future
referendum for the independence and the offer made by President Kiir to General Athor to reconcile
and join the SPLM.
Two main parties, the National Congress Party (NCP) and the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement
(SPLM) dominated media reports, both in audiovisual and print media (charts 3 and 4). However, the
print media gave space to a wider range of parties and political actors than TV and radio and showed a
higher level of balance in the distribution of the coverage.

Consistent with the trends previously observed, a clear-cut division based on geographical outreach
existed in terms of editorial line amongst the different outlets monitored. The media targeting Northern
audiences allocated the largest amount of coverage to the NCP, while media focused on Southern
issues allotted almost of their entire airtime and space to the SPLM (charts 5 and 6).

The tone of the coverage was mainly neutral or positive while negative tones were very sporadic,
particularly on radio and television. The print media displayed a more negative style of reporting even
if still limited. The SPLM was the party receiving the largest amount of positive coverage mainly in
the TV and radio stations targeting Southern audiences.

III. Hate Speech and Post-election Violence
The episodes of inflammatory language during this period were limited and only present in the media
targeting Southern audiences.
Only ten cases were recorded, mainly in the print media, with just one episode occurring on radio. The
key issue dominating this area was the opposition against General Athor and the SPLM regarding the
outcome of the elections in Jonglei State. The ten cases identified as hate speech were mostly
accusations from politicians to other politicians and calls or quotes which can lead to conflict. The tone
and choice of words are characteristic to identify whether these calls fall under the category of hate
speech. 6
Table 1 Summary of hate speech and election-related violence cases (the topics)
Mr. Amum claimed that Akol SPLM-DC groups were responsible for the killing of the Shiluk elder Peter
Oyat.
Charles Kisanga (SPLM) accused authorities of Southern Sudan of arbitrary arrest, intimidation and
harassment of many SPLM-DC supporters.
Mr. Gore accused the National Election Commission of being involved in election frauds that took place over
polling and counting days.
President Kiir accused the NCP of not doing enough to keep Sudan united.
Mr. Amum accused NCP of arming militias to destabilise Southern Sudan ahead of the referendum.
SPLA accused Gen. Athor of an attack on the base in Doleib Hill near Malakal.
Mr. Amum claimed that NCP is behind Athors uprising to disrupt referendum.
Mr. Amum accused NCP of having undermined attempts to keep Sudan unite.
Mr. Amum said that Mr. Akol should call for forgiveness rather than confuse the Southerners.
The SPLA accused Gen. Athor’s forces of attacking one of their cars.
6 Hate speech can be defined as speech intended to foster hatred against individuals or groups based on race, religion, gender, sexual preference, place of
national origin or other improper classification.
This category includes: inflammatory language, call for violence and conflict (invitations or calls to commit acts of violent nature against people and things), discrimination (invitations or calls denying the rights of certain groups on the basis of: age, tribal affiliation, ability, marital status, sexual
orientation, economic level and religion), accusations of rigging (calls or messages alleging fraud and malpractices in the overall election process), call for
tribalism and defamation (an act of communication that causes someone to be shamed, ridiculed, held in contempt, lowered in the estimation of the community, or to lose employment status or earnings or otherwise suffer a damaged reputation).
