Media
Since the war in Bosnia & Herzegovina, the media is no longer steeped in propaganda, but it is still only partially free, with journalists under pressure from state bodies and political parties to somewhat censor their content. This is thanks to the 1995 Dayton Peace Accord efforts, although this has had limited success.
The most influential broadcasters are the public radio and TV stations operated by the Bosnian Muslim-Croat and Serb entities. A national public broadcasting service is now in development.
