The advertising market is large enough to maintain a
diversity of media outlets.

ANALYSIS:
The advertising market in Swaziland is too small to sustain a multiplicity of media outlets. Government and parastatals are the big
advertisers and if they were removed from the market, the media
would barely survive. Advertising from private businesses is rare
and ad hoc. The Times, however, generates considerable revenue
from the classifieds.
