Media Coverage
The economic growth of Mongolia’s economy and mining sector under the current administration has resulted in coverage of Mongolia’s affairs from major western media outlets; a rare occurrence before 2012. Profiles and editorials from publications like the New York Times, TIME Magazine, the Wall Street Journal and others have mostly focused on the economic growth and opportunity in Mongolia as well as the President’s role in overseeing these changes.
Examples of western coverage:
The New York Times From Mongolia, Clinton Takes a Jab at China Jane Perlez July 9, 2012
Time Magazine Hesitant Steppes Hannah Beech August 20, 2012
The New York Times Though Not Yet open, a Huge Mine is Transforming Mongolia Kit Gillet September 13, 2012

During a September 2012 visit to the United States, President Elbegdorj was interviewed by popular CNN television host Christiane Amanpour and answered questions on topics ranging from corruption in government, the balance between mining sector expansion versus environmental preservation, to diplomatic relationships and the rapid growth of their economy.

Famous quotes containing the word media:
“Never before has a generation of parents faced such awesome competition with the mass media for their children’s attention. While parents tout the virtues of premarital virginity, drug-free living, nonviolent resolution of social conflict, or character over physical appearance, their values are daily challenged by television soaps, rock music lyrics, tabloid headlines, and movie scenes extolling the importance of physical appearance and conformity.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
