Scores for each sector are determined as follows: Members of the panel will, after a qualitative group discussion, attach their individual point-score (1-5) to each sub-indicator of a sector. The sum of the individual scores will be divided by the number of panel members. The result will then be considered the final score for the sub-indicator. This qualitative report, including scores, serves the purpose of measuring over time (based on bi-annual repetitions of the panel meetings) the progress or otherwise developments in the media landscape.
