Reporters Without Borders Annual Report 2006 - Tanzania

There is genuine press freedom in Tanzania, despite the extreme susceptibility of some politicians or businessmen with a weakness for litigation for defamation. The media sector is large and mostly responsible. One black spot is Zanzibar. The government on the semi-autonomous island often attacks the independent press, accusing it of being "a threat to national unity" at the first sign of criticism.
