MOZAMBIQUE Sector II: The media landscape is characterised by diversity, independence and sustainability. 2.1. A wide range of sources of information (print, broadcast- ing, internet) is available and affordable to citizens. Analysis: There are information sources but they are not accessible. Some people with financial power are unfamiliar with and neglect media reports due to a lack of culture of information. The access to radio is reasonable. In territorial terms, radio, especially in the evening, cover the whole territory. However in terms of listenership it reaches about 90% of the population. Television covers about 70% of the territory and about 50% of the population. The newspaper readership is not wider than 2.5% of the population. Access to Internet is even smaller! It is important to note that access to the media does not mean necessarily access to information. For instance, those that do not have a TV set in their homes go to their neighbours’ houses on time to watch TV soap serials but not news programmes. Public media organisations should have the obligation of supplying a lot of information of public interest. Individual scores: 3; 2; 3; 2; 3; 2; 2; 3; 2; 3 Average score: 2.5 2.2.
