SECTOR 2 2.9 Media cover the full spectrum of economic, cultural, political, social, national and local perspectives and conduct investigative stories. The media cater insufficiently for investigative journalism. Newsrooms lack the necessary organization for their staff to specialize. Bénin Business 24, the second television channel created by the ORTB in 2014, is cited as having succeeded in considerably diversifying its magazine programmes in the fields of economy, culture, politics, etc. In general, the media allocate a large part of their coverage to political subjects. At La Nation, the Government daily, which seems to have the most resources at its disposal, reports and features processed and covered in the field are sometimes published, but, as one panellist pointed out, mission expenses are high for inquiries and editorial genres of this kind.
