They want Parliament to make the laws (69%) and to monitor how the president spends taxpayers’ money (66%).\n\nEven more, they want an independent watchdog: On average across 39 countries, 72% of Africans say the media “should constantly investigate and report on government mistakes and corruption”.\n\nIt’s the majority view in every surveyed country. Only a quarter (26%) of respondents say too much negative reporting is damaging for the country, though this rises above a third in Côte d’Ivoire (34%), São Tomé and Príncipe (34%), Zimbabwe (35%), Cameroon (36%), Sudan (40%), Senegal (42%), and Mozambique (43%). \n\nThis year, two of the above made ugly headlines: Mozambican journalist Arlindo Chissale died after being beaten by security forces, and Zimbabwean journalist Watson Flexy Munyaka died after being thrown out of a moving vehicle. These incidents serve as chilling reminders, on this World Press Freedom Day (3 May), that even with strong public backing, too often the watchdogs have to watch their backs.\n\n#AfricanMedia #TheContinent #MediaFreedom",
