Summary/Abstract: The paper’s goal is providing a modest contribution to understanding the relationship between media and political parties, focusing on the role of the media as the primary actors in political life, mostly during the pre-election activities. Without well-organized, independent and professional media coverage, it is difficult to imagine fair, honest and free elections. In developed democracies, the mass media are far more objective and generally more independent of the ruling party, as opposed to countries in transition where information systems are to the large extent controlled and subject to influence by the authorities.
