SA media, including the state broadcaster, have received a thumbs up for their overall coverage of the 2021 local government elections.

Research conducted by Media Monitoring Africa and presented to parliament’s portfolio committee of communications on Tuesday rated the coverage at 96%.

Media Monitoring Africa attributed under-reporting to the shrinking of newsrooms and hostile economic climate Based on their individual coverage, the ANC was under-represented at 41% while ActionSA at 8% was the most over-represented party, said the MMA’s Lister Namumba. However, in coverage by the SABC, the DA was not over-represented, unlike in the news media. ActionSA was over-represented when the votes it received were compared to the coverage received.

The Freedom Front Plus received slightly less than its proportionate share of media coverage at 2% compared to 2.3% of votes.
