Strong points of MDI’s • Self-implemental – ownership of process • Categories define the media system well • Normative definition of targets & benchmarks of media development – pluralism and diversity • Operationalization of categories with indicators: • Detailed guide to analysis • lower level should describe higher level
A proposal for development • Review level 4 of MDI’s & remove some overlap between categories • Include quantitative data to describe the media system, for instance: • no. of different media • audiences & circulation • levels of media concentration • size of the advertising market • penetration of media platforms • literacy levels
