Media Use in the North Caucasus in 2009

  1. Results of the public opinin polls will regularly be published on www.caucasustimes.com in a special rubric OPINION POLLS, which already contains the results of the polls held in 2005-2007. 

 

  1. Based on positive experience of publishing a special brochure on public opinion in the North Caucasus in 2005-2006, Caucasus Times is going to summarize the media research results for 2008, to add analysis made by the experts and to publish those results as a separate booklet under the title “MEDIA USE IN THE NORTH CAUCASUS IN 2008: MAJOR TENDNECIES” with approximate circulation of 999 copies. These booklet will be published in Prague. Each booklet will consist of approximately 70-75 pages of F-4 format, font 12 (50 pages in Russian and 50 in English). Network of Caucasus Times correspondents will be used for distributing those booklets in Moscow and in North Caucasus republics among diplomatic missions, Russian state bodies, international and Russian human rights and humanitarian organizations and NGOs. We also are planning to gradually arrange subscription for our booklets in both hard copies and electronic form.      

 

  1. In addition, we are also going to make public presentation of our opinion polls in both Prague and in the North Caucasus two times during this year.

 

5. EVALUATION PLAN

 Main criterion evaluating the implementation of the Caucasus Times media project is the level of demand and interest in its materials from the audience. This can be evaluated by the references to the results of the media opinion polls held by CaucasusTimes in various mass media as well as by new initiatives in the field of opinion research in the North Caucasus taken by Russian and foreign NGOs. Another criterion is a number of subscribers for the CaucasusTimes booklets.
