Abstract
Although in Radio and TV-programmes the dutchspeaking radio and television gives much attention to the election campaign, reporters and journalists manage to stick to the status of non agens, conforming the BRT-constitution.There is no difficulty to interview political leaders or ask them for collaboration in one or another programme, during the election campaign. The nearer election-day comes, the more difficult it is to stay neutral.In the radio-programmes one simply avoided to interview political leaders the last weeks before election-day. As for the TV-programmes, one managed to give the campaign with all pro's and con's, the typical detail and the striking events in puredocumentary style.
