In contemporary African politics, to study the press and broadcasting is to unavoidably and deeply enter the realm of political and social policy analysis. This article examines recent patterns and trends in media-government relations in Botswana, a functioning multiparty, parliamentary democracy of 1.4 million people, with one radio station, a government daily newspaper, and four private weeklies. Attention is paid to government media development under National Development Plan VII; the role of the private press and the government-produced 'Botswana Daily News'; the Botswana Press Agency; Radio Botswana; the developments leading to the inauguration of a national television service; and the role of private reporting in uncovering the Botswana Housing Corporation scandal as well as in revealing the covert financial links with the intelligence arm of the South African Defence Force (SADF) of the short-lived Gaborone weekly 'Newslink Africa' in 1991.

An exploratory study investigating the relationship between media use, media evaluations, & public confidence in their knowledge of current events. Using a 4-point Likert-type scale, 525 respondents in FL in 1993 were asked about TV news viewing & newspaper reading habits. Questions regarded widely reported events in the news at the time, & were asked about familiarity of the event, & related knowledge. The question of assuredness could not be validly combined with the other information because the reliability measure was too low, suggesting that assuredness is not a function of media use. 2 Tables, 18 References.

The study aimed at investigating the level of independence and freedom of the mass media industry in Uganda. It explored the challenges that media professionals practically go through and face in the process of carrying out media work and practicing their professions in Uganda, and secondly, it identified how both the existing and newly proposed laws impact on the mass media freedom in Uganda while drawing from the domestic, national, regional and international laws. Qualitative methods were used in this research with interviews and content Analysis being central. The findings indicate that the mass media in Uganda is still not free as most respondents concurred with what is in the documented reports by HRW, Amnesty International, UHRC, IFEX, CPJ, and HRNJ about media censorship in Uganda. A critical analysis of the various media laws in Uganda revealed that they have not been aligned to regional and international standards. The study, recommends among other things that the government of Uganda should respect freedom of expression as laid down under the constitution, regional and international laws. Secondly, that the media laws in Uganda should be revisited, to meet the regional and international standard by way of repealing clauses that are hostile and unfriendly to free practice of mass media. A self-regulatory media system should be adopted as a way of ensuring less interference by the government in the regulatory process.
