		Tallinn, 5 March 1999 (RFE/RL) -- This weekend's parliamentary elections in Estonia are focusing attention on the role of the press in the country, often considered the star reformer of the three Baltic nations.
		While the media situation in Estonia today bears no comparison to the repressive days of the Soviet Union -- when all press was controlled by the Communist Party -- some newspapers and electronic media outlets appear to be having trouble adapting to western standards of balance, objectivity, fairness and straight reporting.
		Unlike many other former Warsaw Pact states, Estonia had its first hesitant attempts at a free press in the 1980s, when it was still part of the Soviet Union.

	Democratization in Estonia - Toivo Miljan
		The difference is simply an antagonistic interpretation of whether Estonia should reflect a Thatcherite or American type of "free-enterprise" economy which in the first instance would be a kind of early robber baron capitalist society, or whether it should reflect the Nordic social-democratic societies-economies, of which the Swedish is held up as the ideal model.
		Moreover, the election produced a turnout which was larger than that of any elections in Estonia during the period of independence.
		It must be emphasized, however, that the establishmentarian position on Estonia's reconstruction does not negate a need to reduce the impact of the past 50 years and to eventually right all the wrongs of this period and return Estonia to an ideal democracy.
