There is no legislation in Tanzania preventing concentration of media companies in one hand and there are definite cases of media monopolies/multiple media ownership whereby a one media house owns a variety of newspapers as well as broadcast companies. These include the private companies, IPP Media (three radio and three TV stations and nine newspapers) and the New Habari Corporation (four newspapers), while the state runs two dailies and two Sunday newspapers, radio and television stations. There is a Fair Competition Act (2003) but it does not seek to limit such concentration of ownership and rather aims to ensure fair competition among players. Some panellists felt that one company having multiple media interests was not considered a monopoly, but rather as how businesses operate in a free market with various product lines. Others said that such ownership could lead to the propagation of one opinion across various media. Panellists confirmed that the Information and Broadcasting Policy of 2003 was still being reviewed by government and consideration is being given to restricting cross-ownership of media, such that owners of more than two television stations, for example, would have to list one on the stock exchange for public ownership.
