Apart from <a href="http://www.elendureports.com/" rel="nofollow">Elendu Reports</a> there is little of any substance. Journalists are still being harassed by those in power on a weekly basis so there is an atmosphere of fear amongst the profession. <strong>I think there's also a element of corruption to it with journalists being paid not to run certain stories. </strong> I think a number of AFrican countries need this Ory.

I think there’s also a element of corruption to it with journalists being paid not to run certain stories.

This cuts across the public and private sector, as well as the media. There are pockets of people and organizations that are doing some positive stuff, today's comments on poverty by ex Barclays MD Malcolm Hewitt at the Eskom Leadership Conference in JHB talked about some of those things - such as Barclays' s work with SMEs in East Africa and some innovative Aids work in Gaborone. <strong> Any links to Hewitts comments by any chance?</strong> It just shows you how wrong you can be when your ‘issues’ are defined for you - we remain a society made up of individuals who are primarily motivated by short term gains, usually cash or favours (which ultimately have a financial implication).

I heard last month about pressure on opinion writers who were taking the governement to task on the M.O.U, the manifesto (remember that!) and other pledges. Our media has freedom, now it needs courage. <strong>Hadn't heard about the pressure on opinion writers...only Philip Ochieng seems to be holding strong (even though I don't know what he is talking about half the time). </strong> Your point about the decline in quality in op-eds has been bothering me for a while.

Hadn’t heard about the pressure on opinion writers…only Philip Ochieng seems to be holding strong (even though I don’t know what he is talking about half the time).
