Panellists agreed that it was almost impossible in Tanzania for journalists and editors not to practice self-censorship. They observed that most editors feared their media owners. Nevertheless, there was a general consensus that with the current levels of unethical practice within media houses, some degree of selfrestraint is necessary on the part of editors – especially if it is done for the good of society. Panellists noted that they do not have much confidence in the low level of editorial independence.
