In spite of their limited print runs, the papers in Somalia, especially the more independent ones, have been known to have had an edge that more than shaped up the destiny of this tiny nation (3.5 million). They consistently championed issues that touched the day-to-day lives of the man on the street: freedom of expression, individual rights, women rights, the right to justice, health and education, and the right to choice. This proposal is therefore meant to seek support to the setting up of the Campus Radio station and telecentre. The Campus CMC will serve as a reference point for both...
Mass media in Puntland is not well supported, due to lack of facilities and expertise.

The Puntland community also lacks the Internet and a library where they can look for references, undertake research activities and turn in for...

In this context, a process of self-censorship has flourished. News gathering and publishing are headed towards a comfortable, light vision of reality. Conflict is avoided and good journalism is dying. Closely related to this problem, is the academic...
