In many instances, they continue to be part of the problem.......they still concentrate on getting their bread and butter from petty political sideshows and gossip. Yes, improvements are being made and you are starting to see serious business publications that provide cutting edge and up to date insights on the private sector landscape of the continent (Business in Africa etc) however they are still in the minority. Also the level of competence and professionalism exhibited by the 'dedicated business journalists' is still rather low. Most African media is still on the 'pro-democracy bandwagon' and the associated swirling political currents...they have not moved on to the results of democracy i.e. a flourishing private sector.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
