4th Estate --- Amb. Rana you are making a very interesting remark about the "opponent" plague in how independent media are considered in Africa. That is one problem and the other is the substantial quality of those media when it comes to their role in "empowering" the public opinion/understanding which is slightly different to just criticizing and opposing. From what I have seen, the latter is one of their main weaknesses and new technologies even though it presents them with solid opportunities to circumvent govts. censorship and else, have also helped to highlight their blatant lacking, if not lagging as reliable/resilient "enabler of economic statecraft".
