Botswana
There are claims that there are government limits on ability to broadcast freely on the radio but, overall, Botswana nurtures a history of welcome public debate and freedom of expression, as its constitution dictates. State-run television did not appear until 2000 but radio tends to have more dominance as a medium. Printed media is mostly limited to major cities and towns.
Press: The daily newspaper is the Dikgang tsa Gompieno (Botswana Daily News), published in Setswana and English. Other English-language newspapers include The Botswana Gazette, The Botswana Guardian (Sundays only), The Midweek Sun and Mmegi (The Reporter), all published weekly.
TV: Botswana TV emerged in 2000 and is a state-run broadcaster. Gaborone Television is a privately run broadcaster.
Radio: Radio Botswana is state-run and broadcasts in both English and Setswana. Gabz FM and Ya Rona FM are both privately run. Radio Botswana 2 is commercial-run but limited to Gaborone.
