<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>The <i>African Media Barometer</i> is the
first in-depth and comprehensive description and measurement system for
national media environments on the African continent. Unlike other press
surveys or media indices the AMB is a self-assessment exercise based on
homegrown criteria derived from African Protocols and Declarations like the “<i>Declaration
of Principles on Freedom of Expression in Africa</i>” (2002) by the <i><a
href="http://www.achpr.org/english/_info/news_en.html" target="_blank"
title="Opens external link in new window">African Commission for Human and
Peoples’ Rights (ACHPR)</a></i>. It takes up the idea of the <i><a
href="http://www.aprm.org.za/" target="_blank"
title="Opens external link in new window">African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM)</a></i>
on good governance – where African leaders conveniently forgot to include the
media! – and applies it to the media at a national level.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
