Analysis: There has been no successful effort towards that objective. For instance, the State is the main shareholder of the Mozambique Airlines (LAM), but does not offer any subsidy for the transport of newspapers. The importation of paper does not benefit from tax incentives nor is it subjected to special duties. There are countries where their national Parliaments have approved media incentives, especially in relation to their wide distribution to the masses. In Mozambique, the State does nothing towards that end which is worsened by the fact that there are State district administrators that are clearly hostile towards the presence of independent media journalists in the territorial units under their jurisdiction. A citizen who resides in the Province of Inhambane was “accused” by a State administrator for reading the “SAVANA” and the “ZAMBEZE”, two independent newspapers. At Zambézia Province level, such things occur also at Provincial Government level. The recently concluded “Project Media” from UNESCO, which was co-financed by UNDP and the Mozambican Government, can be considered as an isolated effort towards such objective that ended up to be a total failure. One of the points of such initiative was the support to the independent print media. Also, it was foreseen the establishment of Community Media Centres. For instance, one such centre was established in Beira, capital city of the Sofala Province. The situation in which the independent media operate shows that the government does not have a proactive attitude towards such media doing nothing towards their benefit and improvement. What the government has is an inflexible attitude towards this sector (the African Media Barometer - Mozambique 2007 9
