Analysis of the Draft Broadcasting Law, Mongolia, March 2017

 

The idea of adopting a broadcasting law has been an issue of debate in Mongolia for at least ten years and there have been various efforts to try to take this idea forward. The adoption of such a law is very important for a number of reasons, including to set clear rules for the licensing and operation of broadcasters, to ensure that broadcasters are regulated by an independent body, to promote diversity in the airwaves and to put in place an effective and appropriate system for ensuring professionalism among broadcasters.
