Which Test Nation is the most...

..Neutral in terms of cricket, whilst maintaining a respective array of patriotism without issuing an overbaring Bias against the rest. Which nation can give the best account of a test match without referring too much to themselves in the analysis (when they aren't involved of course). Is this even possible? Is the media so objective towards their respective nation that they cannot refrain from regressing back to their own culture in a bulletin on a Cricketing Topic.


A Simple example, is when a topic arises on two test countries, and the article refers back to the origin of the journalist, newspaper or person who wrote it. Can this cause problems? A sense of attention seeking?


Whilst the main topic is on neutrality (on a media scale), lets chomp over what nations are unable to do this and why?

It's multiple choice because some countries might be quite similar...

i think i kind of get what you are saying

when it comes to match reports i think most are neutral

i dont really read much of the lankan/african/kiwi/west indian/bangles media so cant comment on those

for analysis, out of the ones i have read i would say pakistani is comparitively neutral. the indian/english/australian media loves to see things through its own prism. again a generalisation, it all depends on the journalist

Basically, which nation can give a detailed account on a cricket topic or anything within the media without referring back to their own culture.


Such as if a journalist from a country mentions themselves when they aren't involved.


It's just an idea of which country manages to maintain a sense of neutrality in their own media.

You could call Channel Nine in Australia Bias. However, is it strong enough to reflect the whole countries Media output on cricket? Would the Australian Media write an indepth neutral article on a England vs India encounter without subtly taking a dig at either country due to past Conflicts?

I'm basically looking for a view on Objectivity in the Media from the Test Nations. Which Nations are more likely to cause less conflict through the tool of propaganda etc.

I'm sure with cooperation this might turn into something.
