Agenda for Media Research
The Media Council of Tanzania (MCT) Programme Strategy extending from 2008 to 2011 has na explicit component on research,policy analysis and documentation.
MCT saw this programme area as an important activity that would bring about research-based results for enlightening the public on critical media subjects such as policy and laws and their impact on the freedom of expression as a basic human right.
Based on this strategy mandate, the Council engaged two consultants,a socialogist and an experienced journalist,to prepare terms of reference(ToRs)that would inform media stakeholders about this new direction of supporting the journalism profession in Tanzania.
