Critical Analysis of Media Trends and Practice

Media Power and Politics in Tanzania provide a critical analysis of media development trends and actual practice in a fragile political economy.

The Journalist is independent dynamic and tough. Like a private detective, he imperturbably fights through a swamp of economic saboteurs, white collar criminals and political con-men. A lone Wolf in the jungle of wrongdoing in politics, business, bureaucracy and sports leadership. He is courageous, incorruptible, responsible and humanly integrous as he ferrets out the truth in a country where there is so much wrong than right in all aspects of socio- economic and political life.

Such is the illusion for many beginners in journalism
