"Six in 10 respondents (62%) access news media daily. Radio remains the leading source of news but is declining in importance as television and the Internet build their audiences. A solid majority (57%) of Africans demand press freedom, endorsing the media’s right to publish what it wants without government interference. Africans also support an active “watchdog” role for the press: On average, 69% believe that the media should exercise this role. Similarly, a majority (64%) believe the media is effective in exposing government mistakes and corruption. More than one-third (36%) of respondents say the media “often” or “always” publishes things it knows are not true. In some countries, this perception is shared by large majorities of citizens."
