Media Council of Tanzania
The Media Council of Tanzania (坦桑尼亞媒體委員會) is Tanzania’s primary media regulatory body, implementing program strategies with explicit components on research, policy analysis and documentation while handling ethics complaints from organizations and the public. The Council conducts research to enlighten the public on critical media subjects and examines policy impacts on freedom of expression as a basic human right, engaging consultants including sociologists and experienced journalists to prepare terms of reference for “supporting the journalism profession in Tanzania.” The organization also processes ethics complaints such as Legal and Human Rights Center allegations against The Citizen newspaper regarding “damaging story” coverage, indicating dual regulatory oversight and advocacy functions within Tanzania’s media landscape.
