| Outlook |
The newspaper circulation within Armenia is limited and the press industry represents a tiny portion of an emerging market economy. Newspapers address a small and elite audience: a mere 5% of the population takes its news from papers. Broadcast media represents the widest market share: radio at 10% and the most popular media being television commanding 85%. TV channels, get a huge amount of funds from their owners, who are part of the political and/or economic elite.
Censorship is prohibited under a 2004 media law. However, libel and defamation are punishable by prison terms and journalists have been sentenced under these laws.
