Namibia SCORES: Individual scores: 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 3 Average score: 3.9 2.2 (2005 = 3.4) Citizens’ access to domestic and international media sources is not restricted by state authorities. ANALYSIS: Access to domestic and international media is unrestricted, though it should be noted that the continuing ban on The Namibian with regard to government advertising and purchasing of the newspaper could lead to readers not having access to certain advertisements (see indicator 2.12). SCORES: Individual scores: 5, 4, 4, 4, 3, 4, 5, 2, 2 Average score: 3.7 2.3 (2005 = 4.6) Efforts are undertaken to increase the scope of circulation of the print media, particularly to rural communities. ANALYSIS: The scope of circulation of the print media has improved during the last two years, notably with Trustco flying Informanté and other newspapers, like The Namibian, to Katima Mulilo, Oranjemund and Aussenkehr, meaning that readers in far-flung locations receive their newspapers on the same day that they are published. It is still very difficult to get newspapers in rural areas such as Kamanjab or in the Kavango region. African Media Barometer - Namibia 2007 15
