Figure 1.6 - Diversity of information providers and quality of institutions

Recent research for this Report shows that competition in the provision of information can significantly increase the impact of the media on the quality of institutions. For example, where the state does not control information through monopoly or concentrated ownership of the media industry, the media can do much in checking corruption (figure 1.6). The effect of private monopolies on information flow can be expected to be similar.
