Journalism, Democracy, and Human Rights in Zimbabwe provides an empirical analysis of Zimbabwe’s ongoing state of affairs. Bruce Mutsvairo and Cleophas T. Muneri examine the intersection between journalism, democracy, and human rights to historicize and critique past successes and failures that have played out in Zimbabwe’s past, as well as interrogate future challenges that await the nation’s quest for democratization. The authors examine what role citizen journalists, human rights activists, professional journalists, and social media dissents could potentially play toward ending the country’s current adversity. Scholars of journalism, media studies, communication, African studies, and political science will find this book particularly useful.

This is a fine-grained account of Zimbabwe’s unique media landscape, which continues to be characterized by significant state control. Bruce Mutsvairo and Cleophas T. Muneri provide a rare, exhaustive and deeply historicized analysis of the country’s media history, ownership structure, content, legislation and more recent digital developments. It is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the lasting influence of colonial rule on media and politics and the process in which media and politics mutually shape each other.
Wendy Willems, London School of Economics and Political Science
Control of the media is one of the most important, yet overlooked, issues facing Zimbabwean democracy. This thoughtful, insightful, and passionate book does more than any other I have read to explain how the struggle over the media has unfolded and its implications for the future of the country's political system
Nic Cheeseman, University of Birmingham and author of Democracy in Africa
