Journalism, Democracy, and Human Rights in Zimbabwe

Media and Democratic Transition in Zimbabwe provides an empirical analysis of Zimbabwe's ongoing state of affairs. Bruce Mutsvairo and Cleophas T. Muneri examine the intersection between journalism, democracy, and human rights to historicize and critique past successes and failures that have played out in Zimbabwe's past, as well as future challenges that await the current government of the country. The authors pose the question of what role human rights activists, journalists, and social media dissents play in ending the country's current adversity. Scholars of journalism, media studies, communication, African studies, and political science will find this book particularly useful.
