SECTOR 2 2.3 Efforts are undertaken to increase the scope of circulation of the print media, particularly to rural communities. As indicated above under 2.1, print media distribution focuses mainly on Antananarivo where papers are available daily and on the day of publication. Other major cities experience delays of a few hours or even days. Some editors try to make their papers available to communities outside of Antananarivo by sending them via email for printing locally. Isolated or remote rural areas receive practically no newspapers. The only exception are some denominational newspapers made available through affiliated churches, although these are not regular or daily publications. Media outlets with sufficient financial resources can send their papers to the various regions served by airlines. Air Madagascar offers a discount for the transport of newspapers, but this mode of distribution is still fairly expensive and unaffordable for most media outlets. There is no attempt by the state to increase the scope of circulation of the print media. No special measures have been put in place to ensure or facilitate access for rural communities.
