CHAPTER ONE Methodology In preparing this report, desktop research methodology was used. Reviews were done of news articles in the Daily Nation, The Post, Zambia Daily Mail and the Times of Zambia for the months under review. This involved a thorough review of each newspaper and picking out news and events related to the media. Radio stations monitored include Hot FM, QFM, ZBNC Radio 4 and Radio Phoenix. Television news bulletins were also monitored on ZNBC TV1 and Muvi TV during the period under review. The websites of the radio and television stations were also monitored. On-line media reviewed include Zambian Watchdog, Zambia Reports, and Mwebantu New Media. The limitations of this study were that this study focused and was limited to stories that were reported on in the media. Potential stories that may have been covered by media outside of Lusaka could not be independently monitored/verified and some were, therefore, not included in the report. 8
