SECTOR 2 Scores: Individual scores: 1 Country does not meet indicator 2 Country meets only a few aspects of indicator 3 Country meets some aspects of indicator 4 Country meets most aspects of indicator 5 Country meets all aspects of the indicator Average score: n/a (2006= n/a, 2008 = n/a, 2010 = n/a) 2.5 Adequate competition legislation/regulation seeks to prevent media concentration and monopolies. Madagascar does not yet have a legal framework for this area. Media owners who have the financial means can buy or establish various media facilities. For example, Ultima Media Group publishes four newspapers (The News, Taratra, Courier Madagascar, Madagascar-Journal JDM) and radio (alliance M92) Prey group has three newspapers (L’Express de Madagascar, Ao Raha L’Hebdo), two radio stations (radio and radio Antsiva Tana) and television RTA. Politicians hence do not hesitate to set up media conglomerates (some close to power, such as Viva Radio and TV while others align themselves to the opposition, as in the case of Midi Madagasikara).
