ANALYSIS: There is little professionalism in most private media. The print media at least makes efforts to operate as efficient businesses by offering variety of content, quality and timely delivery. In the broadcasting sector timing is poor with frequent late bulletins and late coverage of events. Corruption in media houses leads to biases in coverage of events. This is made worse by poor reward system for staff who then become vulnerable to partisan interests.
