SECTOR 2 The media landscape, including new media, is characterised by diversity, independence and sustainability. 2.1 A wide range of sources of information (print, broadcasting, internet) is accessible and affordable to citizens. Users of Togolese media do have access to a wide range of sources of information in all three sectors. Some panelists even suggested there might be “more than enough”. Altogether there are about sixty print publications, ten television channels (the public/state TVT, TV2, RTDS, TV7, TLS, JLI, Télé Spice, Télé catholique, Zion, Horizons) and more than 85 radio stations, some 20 of them in the capital, Lomé. Not all of the print media in particular, though, necessarily have official confirmation as registered publications from the HAAC or appear regularly. As regards the internet, users suffer from an absence of fibre optic cables and other latest technologies. This makes connection speeds very slow. Sometimes the internet remains inaccessible for days on end. And even when there is access to the network, users have to grapple with the instability of connections and the high costs of the service. The average price of newspapers is 250 FCFA per copy. Given the official minimum wage (MSIG) which stands at 28 000 FCFA (US$ 56) they are thus not easily affordable.
