Produktbeschreibung
Based on surveys and interviews with journalists in three East African nations (Rwanda, Uganda and Kenya) that have had varying degrees of civil conflict, this book explores how conflict and democratization overlap with the news media and press freedom.

The ebb-and-flow of media freedoms in these countries calls for historically informed views of media systems, so this book provides a set of factors to consider when trying to understand press freedom outside the Western world.
