Résumé/Présentation |
"Drawing on the examples of Rwanda, Burundi, and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), this chapter considers the factors influencing press freedom in post-conflict societies. Based on Minabere Ibelema, Larry Powell, and William Self?s assumption that ?both forces of control and freedom are in a constant state of flux?, we argue that very different dynamics affect the freedom of the press in those countries, albeit in times of political unrest, which include contested elections, mass protests, or legitimation crisis. However, political factors, especially restricting press freedom, seem to prevail over other constraints." (Academia) |
