"Recent Afrobarometer survey findings show that fully two-thirds of Zimbabweans think the media should act as a watchdog over the government, investigating and reporting on government mistakes and corruption. A similar proportion value media freedom and reject the notion that the government should be able to prevent publications it disapproves of. But citizens are divided on whether media freedom exists in practice in their country. Importantly, a majority of Zimbabweans report feeling free to say what they think, and a few make use of this freedom to engage with traditional or social media to express their views. Radio and social media are the most popular news sources in Zimbabwe, accessed at least a few times a week by three-fifths and two-fifths of citizens, respectively." (Summary)
