In this twenty-ninth survey of the web, The WAWG Index monthly average was up by 3.9 percent from February 2008. Of the fourteen categories tracked, 5 were up, 8 were down and one was unchanged. The largest decrease for March, 54 percent, was rampant chronism and corruption. The largest increase was for protection of corporate power at 176 percent. This increase more than negated the previous 2 month’s decrease.
Through this March reading, the 12 month group moving average for all fourteen categories was up slightly by 0.7 percent to -8.8 percent. Of the fourteen categories tracked, only one, media control, is still positive – and gained 2.3 percent over last month.
