Media Tenor

Media Tenor was founded by journalists to provide an objective resource for information on media content trends. When in Germany, a press law was passed that strictly limited the legal range of investigative reporting. Journalists throughout Germany feared that this law might be extended to the rest of the country; some began to look for a way to clearly demonstrate what news outlets were producing in order to defend their profession against charges of inaccuracy and imbalance. These journalists began to talk with social scientists in Germany, the United States and Canada about finding a method to objectively, accurately, and consistently monitor the content of the major newspapers, magazines and television news programs in Germany.

In 1994 they founded Media Tenor in order to give structure to their purpose.
After a brief period, several university communications departments joined in the development of Media Tenor's proprietary research. Soon, academic partners realized the value of Media Tenor's research for their own projects and before long, corporations, political parties and NGO's began to request Media Tenor?s services as well.

In order to serve clients with a global focus, international offices followed. In 1996 an office was opened in the Czech Republic to follow Eastern European media trends and the following year saw the addition of an office in England to monitor Western European media. Also in 1997, Media Tenor expanded its focus to include online media content from news groups, discussion groups, and web sites. In 2000 Media Tenor expanded beyond Europe, opening offices in South Africa and the United States in order to monitor media content in the African and North American continents.

Although Media Tenor has over 250 researchers working in five countries and more than twenty languages today, our original purpose is unchanged: to provide objective, in-depth, up-to-date media content information to help ensure and protect balanced journalism.

Republicans debate and criticise Bush

By GLEN JOHNSON, Associated Press Writer

MANCHESTER, N.H. -

President Bush drew criticism Tuesday night from Republican White House hopefuls unhappy with his handling of the Iraq war, his diplomatic style and his approach to immigration.
"I would certainly not send him to the United Nations said Tommy Thompson, the one-time member of Bush's Cabinet.

Arizona Sen. John McCain criticized the administration for its handling of the Iraq War, and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney said, "I think we were underprepared and underplanned

Rep. Tom Tancredo of Colorado recalled that White House aide Karl Rove had once told him "never darken the door of the White House." The congressman said he'd tell George W. Bush the same thing.

The criticism of Bush was more in keeping of the type of rhetoric that could be expected when Democratic presidential contenders debate.

Its prominence at the GOP event — while Bush was traveling overseas — was a reflection of his poor poll ratings and the need of even members of his own party to campaign on platforms of change.
