SCORES: Individual scores: 4, 2, 4, 4, 3, 4, 2, 3, 4, 2 Average score: 3.2 2.10 Private media outlets operate as efficient and professional businesses. ANALYSIS: Tanzania is in the process of transformation from a state economy into a liberalised economy. There is hardly any business culture and professionalism and business acumen are lacking in most fields. Records show that private media do make profits but the problem of the lack of a business mind-set resurfaces when it comes to spending the proper way and reinvesting to sustain business challenges. There are strategies in place to nurture professionalism and to ensure the sustainability of private media. This is done through MISA and other similar bodies.
