Do the news media especially if they are
free, plural and independent of government control have an
impact on the quality of governance? To many, the answer to
that question is not only obvious, it is blindingly so. The
news media have contributed to the improvement of governance
in several countries, especially through their ability to
expose corrupt deeds and speak truth to power. The problem,
however, is that as the governance reform agenda evolves in
the field of international development, the role of the news
media is still uncertain. Opportunities to strengthen the
news media will always depend on the situation in each
country, and will always depend on the interplay of forces
within each country. In other words, the political economic
realities will always determine what can be achieved. What
that means is that those who want to improve media systems
in their own countries must learn to build effective
coalitions. That is where work is really needed.
Nonetheless, it is possible to do two things. First, it is
possible to bring together how the news media can contribute
to good governance outcomes. Second, it is possible to draw
the necessary policy implications. This book will contribute
to a greater awareness of the potential contributions of
independent news media to governance reform efforts around
the world. |
