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,

Media and Democratic Transition 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 future challenges that await the current government of the country. The authors pose the question of what role human rights activists, journalists, and social media dissents play in ending the country’s current adversity. Scholars of journalism, media studies, communication, African studies, and political science will find this book particularly useful.
