Mass Media and Democratisation in Cameroon in the Early 1990s

More about the book

The Cameroonian media has failed to act as impartial mediators in the ongoing democratic debate, reflecting a polarized political landscape. One faction supports the government, portraying it as benevolent while discrediting the opposition as self-serving. Conversely, the opposing faction champions the radical opposition, accusing the government of power-driven motives. This division hampers meaningful multipartyism and contributes to a superficial understanding of democracy, reducing it to mere propaganda for both sides.
