Bolivia
Bolivia has lived through some turbulent years leading to the destabilisation of the state and the democracy. President Evo Morales spurred some stability but sparked a process of polarization. The increased tension and polarization is reflected in the media as the narrowing of space for debate and reflection raises the risk of journalists doing their job. In 2007 IMS published an assessment of the media situation, which has lead to IMS supporting the newly established media organisation Pondera.
