The political environment of the media market in 2022, Bosnia and Herzegovina

In 2022, the political landscape of Bosnia & Herzegovina's local media market was marked by the significance of election year. The evolving relationship between politics and the media market saw an increased political influence that impacted media spending. The general elections held in 2022 resulted in substantial budgets allocated to political party promotions, significantly shaping media market investments. Government entities favored specific outlets, leading to concentrated support and limited diversity. These dynamics significantly influenced the local media market, highlighting the pervasive influence of political factors. Consequently, there is an urgent need for transparency and safeguards to foster fair competition and ensure diverse media representation.
