Censorship is the influence of editorial independence through attacks against media freedom and closure of media outlets, when high officials are sensitive to information affecting their interests and exposing their wrong-doings. There are also attempts to control the media through its leaders and editors as well as with economic pressure.

The Mongolian media is divided into the groups that they serve. It is not only state-owned media, but other private commercial television channels are dependent on their investors and the political forces that support them. It is clear from their programming policy. The Mongolian media has become a battleground for business groups. In spite of the freedom of expression that the Mongolian journalists enjoy, there is always the question of who is behind the journalistic materials which appear in the media.
