A study of the content of the daily newspapers during the legislative election campaign of 1961 confirmed the estimates made in 1958 in the course of similar study: the daily newspapers devote little space to the election campaign; the analysis of the issues involved in the campaigns is barely apparent; internat'l events are of little importance, & finally, the Belgian press is not homogeneous, either as a whole or when considered in terms of its groupings & sub-groupings (regional, linguistic, philosophical). In 1961 the study was also extended to include radio & TV. As a result, it is clear that the various parties made little use of these means of propaganda, & the role of TV was very little & very badly exploited. Tr by J. A. Brousard from IPSA.
