MOZAMBIQUE Individual scores: 3; 2; 2; 1; 2; 1; 1; 2; 3; 4 Average score: 2.1 4.6. Journalists and editors do not practise self-censorship. Analysis: It is not easy to discuss this issue because self-censorship is an extremely subjective concept. In fact, journalists and editors do practice self censorship to a point, once journalism implies a constant decision making on what to do and how to do it at all times.

Almost always, the owner is also a journalist himself. In Mozambique it is urgent to discuss when the owner should be separated from the editorial manager. For instance, it is the owner that negotiates major advertising contracts and who is at the same time the manager of the publishing company.

Salary levels and the general working conditions for journalists and other media practitioners are adequate to discourage corruption.
