"Free and independent media that provide accurate information, facilitate public debate, and hold power to account have never been more critical than now when we are in the middle of a global pandemic."
This set of reports, published by the African Centre for Media Excellence (ACME) and the Open Society Initiative for Eastern Africa (OSIEA), documents press freedom violations and the economic effects of COVID-19 on media in Burundi, Rwanda, Kenya, South Sudan, and Uganda. The reports form part of ACME's and OSIEA's efforts to support media and its important role in society in the wake of the COVID-19 epidemic in the region.
