International Media Coverage of the 2011 Article XIV Conference

Vienna, 27 September 2011 The list below is a compilation of articles and press releases run by media or other websites reporting on the 2011 Article XIV Conference promoting CTBT entry into force held in New York on 23 September. The list includes also articles and op-eds written prior to 23 September which include references to the Conference. We managed to identify 56 original articles. What was really impressive was the number of media that picked up on these stories. We identified 218 pick-ups for a total of 274 stories reporting on the Conference, all within a period of two weeks, 14-26 September. Coverage by the UN News Center (i.e. #6-9, #13 & #16 in the list below) was very good and these stories were well picked up (i.e. #7, #13 & #16). The article by Desmond Butler of the Associated Press (#37) was picked up 130 times by some of the major and many of the local news media, mostly in the United States. Many other American media covered the story. The article by Catherine Kara of AFP (#31) was picked up by 16 news media, interestingly enough almost all of them in Annex 2 States – 7 in India, 3 in Pakistan, 3 in the US, 1 in Egypt, 1 in China and 1 in Bangladesh. Media coverage in South Asia was very good and came by some of the major, mainstream Indian and Pakistani newspapers. In India these include ITV news (#31.k), the Deccan Herald (#31.l), New Kerala (#40) and others for a total of 9 stories. In Pakistan all the 4 newspapers that run the story have a high circulation – Pakistan Today, Business Recorder, Daily News, the Nation (#31, #49). There was excellent coverage in Japan and Vietnam. An article by Kyodo news (#48) was picked up 29 times by other Japanese media and one by the Sinkei Shimbun 3 more times (#49). There were many articles from Vietnam (i.e. #30, #44-46, #56-57 and #52 with 9 pick-ups). Noteworthy is the coverage in Cuba. Both the main news agency, Prensa Latina (which also ran CTBTO’s press release on Guinea’s ratification) and the official newspaper of the CP of Cuba, Granma, ran the story (#34 & #34.a). Finally, the major Indonesian newspaper, the Jakarta Globe, run an article (# 53) on FM Natalegawa’s speech.
