2. The media plays a substantial role in the
development of government. The media gives people
access to be able to choose a political party, devise
attitudes on government parties and government
decisions, and manage their own interests.
4. The recent history of Kazakhstan's media is an
integral part of the political history of the
Kazakhstan government. Viewing them in a
bunch, you will notice that it is at the junction
of the political history of the republic with the
history of their own press are some landmarks
or milestones in a natural way which represent
the elements of a fairly clear periodization.
Recall that in her calendar milestones serve as
political developments and events, and facts
about the actual Kazakh media, and can not
always be clearly separated from one another.
5. Kazakhstan has the main political date in country`s
history:
16 th December 1986.Mass Media, begins the ascent - When smooth
and spurts - towards greater and greater diversity in the press and
discordant, to more and more of her freedom. The Jeltoqsan or
"December" of 1986 were riots in response to General Secretary Mikhail
Gorbachev's dismissal .
6. The majority of Kazakhstan citizens (44.7 percent)
trust TV more than printed media. The level of trust
to Internet-based sources of information is 17.4
percent. This is 7 percent less than their trust to the
Internet in general. At the same time, the citizens
have a relatively high trust to newspapers (14.5
percent)
8. The argument that the mass media have a direct effect on
British politics is certain.
There is much evidence about where the electorate gather
their political information from, with surveys showing that
television is most peoples' primary source of political
information (60% to 70%) with the press coming in at a
distant second on 25% to 30% .
11. It would be hard to overestimate
the importance of mass media
in the U.S. electoral process.
National television networks
reach 99 percent of all American
homes. The content and
emphasis of their coverage are
among the most powerful
factors in determining how
voters perceive the candidates
and their issues.

13. As way of
communicating more
directly with
voters, candidates buy
television and radio
advertising time. In USA
in the 2008 presidential
election, presidential
candidates spent 2.4
billion dollars, with
about 60 percent of it
going to advertising.
14. Studies have that broadcast media devote most
of their coverage to the competition between
the candidates rather than providing an
explanation of issues and the candidates’
stances on them. Eager to attract
viewers, broadcasters focus on dramatic
moments that highlight candidates’
mistakes, attack on opponents and suggestions
of scandal or problem .
15. Media is the most important tool created
by people to influence and to form public
opinion. Since, media is called to expose
illegal actions, people believe in
information objectivity and thus, behave
in a corresponding way. That is, they are
supposed to accept the situation within
the state, as the media inform them. By
observing the situation in mass media
sphere it can be said that
usually, conditions of media existence
force them to be not objective, and
mainly follow political actors because
they own most media.
