About the Blog

Welcome to this blog spot which seeks to provide an (Indaba) forum on Zimbabwe mediascapes. This is a group weblog started 3 March 2007, by the Post-Graduate Diploma in Media and Society Studies class at Midlands State University, Gweru in Zimbabwe as part of their Practical journalism course.

Its main aim is to provide a forum for critical reflexivity on the media practices in Zimbabwe, taking into account the prevailing legal, technological, political as well as economic environment within which the media operate in the country. Apart from presenting the class with an opportunity to participate in this frontier type medium, this blog hopes to attract incisive commentary on what is going wrong or right with our media from all its readers. It keeps in focus the question how and why are our scribes reporting the Zimbabwean 'reality' the way they do. Debate on this forum shall be unregulated and free from any form of prior censorship. So welcome aboard.
