The analysis recently published by MANS finds that most of the press is under the direct or indirect control of the government and the ruling party, while independent media face many difficulties. "The government gives subsidies and allocats advertising mainly to those media that support the ruling party, thereby distorting the market, while independent media are subjected to financial problems. In addition, numerous court cases still represent a significant burden to finance independent media", the report points out.
