Focuses on the evolution of a national policy response to acquired immune deficiency syndrome in the 1980s by the government & citizens of Botswana. Botswana's open, democratic political system, research climate, & availability of relevant data allow for an in-depth examination of the role of the Ministry of Health, nongovernmental organizations, local traditional authorities in rural areas, the national education system, & mass media in coming to terms with this crisis. The government has been responsive & innovative in designing decentralized, coordinated, culture-sensitive health policy & involving a wide cross-section of social, political, religious, traditional, & economic groups, as well as external agencies in educational & prevention programs. Citizens, however, have been slow to face up to the crisis. 15 References. Modified AA

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.
