The challenge that face Tanzanian Journalist increasing Every Year and the Event of violent to the Journalist is now like to the baby drink a milk in the cup morning.
That is means Press Freedom go far to the Tanzanian Journalist and Media Houses because of bad Low from the Constitution of Tanzania that governed the all People of Tanzania to the free of Expression.
To the two Year ago there many Violent meet to Tanzanian Journalist like Dearth of Mwangosi in Iringa Region,who is a Reporter of Chanel Ten There,treble face senior Editors Absolom Kibanda ,Taofil Makunga,Ndimara Tegambwage,Shabani Matutu and Saidi Kubenea is a number of violent that show that there are many chalenges facing Journalist in Tanzania .
Although the constitution of Tanzania provides for freedom of speech, numerous other laws encourage self-censorship and limit the ability of the media to function effectively. Perhaps the most notorious and widely used of these laws is the 1976 Newspaper Registration Act, which empowers authorities to register or ban publications “in the interest of peace and good order.”.
In July 2012, the Information Ministry banned the Swahili-language weekly MwanaHalisi indefinitely on vague charges of sedition and false reporting for unspecified articles and then last year that Ministry acuse Mtanzania and Mwananchi News papers the all daily kiswahili News Papers.
http://www.ippmedia.com...The laws governing
the operations of the media during the German and British colonial
administrations were drafted specifically to tame the media, reducing them to a
propaganda tool of the colonial regimes.
The Germans, for instance, enacted the East Africa Newspaper
Decree of 1912 to control the newspaper industry. Under this law, it was a
criminal offense for journalists to participate in any event that led or
amounted to violation of the law.
The advent of the British in Tanganyika did not change the
role of the media for, which was essentially to serve the interests of the
colonial masters.
The Penal Code of 1920 and the Newspaper Ordinance of 1928,
pieces of legislation governing the media during British rule, criminalize the
publication of false or alarmist statements likely to subject the public to
fear.
Founding President Mwalimu Julius Nyerere is among the Tanganyika subjected to this draconian law when, in his titular capacity as
editor of Sauti ya Tanu (Voice of Tanu) newspaper, he was charged with sedition
in 1958.
He was found guilty and sentenced to six months in jail or a
fine of 150 pound sterling. He paid the fine. A number of other local
journalists were later also charged with sedition.
After independence some provisions of these colonial laws
were retained on the statute books or altogether new but still unfriendly media
laws were enacted altogether.
In general the legal regime is not all that friendly to the
media in Tanzania. The government has continued to adopt policies and make laws
that make the work of journalists and media outlets difficult.
