Independent journalism in Mozambique is facing considerable legal, political, and economic pressures as the country’s hard-fought democratic gains of the past three decades come under increasing strain. This pressure on journalism was among the top-line findings of a four-day mission to Mozambique conducted by the International Press Institute (IPI) in August 2022.
During this mission, a high-level IPI delegation led by IPI Executive Board Chair Khadija Patel met with a range of stakeholders, including government, media, journalists, diplomats, and civil society, to assess the challenges faced by the media and to support independent journalism in the country.
