SECTOR 4 4.10 Journalists and other media practitioners are organised in trade unions and/or professional associations, which effectively represent their interests. There are numerous media organisations with journalists as members, but there is only one trade union, the Zimbabwe Union of Journalists. ZUJ used to be a strong organisation with considerable clout but their effectiveness in the past few years has been weakened by in-fighting and allegations of manipulation of elections. Mirroring the political polarisation in the media there are two organisations for editors – the Zimbabwe National Editors Forum (ZINEF) for those in the private media and the Zimbabwe Association of Editors for those in the state sector. Other media associations include MISA and the Federation of Media Women in Zimbabwe.
