Media Reform – 1998

According to the U.S. State Department report on human rights practices in 1998, “Media outlets owned by the government and state enterprises largely reflected the views of factions within the ruling party, but many of them also carried significant criticism of the Government’s handling of the local elections. The number of independent media increased, and their criticism of the Government, its leaders, and their families largely is tolerated.”¹“Mozambique Country Report on Human Rights Practices for 1998,” U.S. Department of State, 1999, accessed September 15, 2010, http://www.state.gov/www/global/human_rights/1998_hrp_report/mozambiq.ht…
