"This position paper distinguishes three 'corner sections' which can be considered of fundamental importance for the development of a sustainable media sector: the legal and regulatory environment, professional capacity (both managerial, technical and journalistic), and a sound and sustainable economic base. In addition, it differentiates between five contextual frames: authoritarian states, conflict and post-conflict countries, fragile democracies in the early stages of democratisation, stagnating democratisation processes and new democracies in the process of consolidation. Depending on this context, the paper provides recommendations for media support. According to the general conclusions (page 28) "there is a strong preference to develop a programme of projects that support all three corner sections as it is the combination of all three that best supports a media environment capable of promoting democracy, human rights and development."
