Broadcasting and Development in Zambia

            
            
             This dissertation aims to study development and broadcasting in Zambia, to draw conclusions as to the present situation of broadcasting and the direction it should move in the future. The study of the development of broadcasting in Zambia and its current structure are outlined together with details of its structure, policy and the constraints placed upon it.
             The findings of this study show that broadcasting - radio in particular - has become the dominant news source for the nation, an effective instrument of propaganda for the government and a powerful influence in the political, social, economic and cultural life of the Zambian people.
             Finally, some suggestions are put forward for ways of improving the content and presentation of programs on both radio and television and for reform of the current media system in Zambia.
