2.10 Government does not use its power over the
placement of advertisements as a means to interfere
with editorial content.
The government does not have much economic power to influence the editorial
content of private media through the placement of advertisements. Only a few
public enterprises are in the habit of advertising their services. Government
tenders are not published in the private media but only in the state-owned daily
Addis Zemen. This renders the private media more or less independent from
government advertisements.
