"MISA: Media Institute of Southern Africa" and Media Censorship in Tanzania The freedom of Speech, the right to bear arms, and the right to a speedy and fair trial are some of the things we, as American citizens take for granted on a daily basis. Unfortunately, due to corrupt and unorganized governments, citizens of Africa aren't always able to reap these benefits. Governments censor the media so the people hear only what they want them …showed first 75 words of 1254 total…

…showed last 75 words of 1254 total…not to use their minds and capabilities. That is a rather disconcerting thought. NGO's like the Media Institute of Southern Africa are put in place to help the environment, the economy, and most importantly the people. They help avoid government corruption and attack the problem head on rather than beating around the bush in the political arena. It is inspiring to know that there are organizations out there with the soul purpose of helping people.
