MOZAMBIQUE The situation of the community radios is particularly sensitive: they always requesting for a law to be approved but no progress has been achieved. It is said frequently that the journalists of the community radios are more of disk jockeys then journalists. In fact there is no legislation that regulates coexistence in a healthy environment.

Analysis: Community radios are always an issue in the annual programmes of the government, which shows that there is a special effort for their promotion. The key question is if such radio stations are for the good of the rural communities or are in fact an extension of the public radio service. It is because of that, that these Community Radios have signed agreements with RM and TVM, particularly those linked to the Institute of Social Communication (ICS). In Mozambique there are a number of community radio ant television services that are supported by the government; others by religious congregations and another group that operates under the sphere of certain organisations of the civil society. They do enjoy some promotion. Of some concern is the fact that community radios have to face many difficulties to be granted a licence. They are submitted to a process of licensing almost identical to the one applied to the commercial radio services. Before the licence is granted to a community radio, the political orientation of its advisors is thoroughly investigated. African Media Barometer - Mozambique 2007 11
