Tanzania is still suffering from the hangover of state control of the media, which was practised from 1965 until 1992. According to a report by the Media Institute of Southern Africa (MISA) entitled, So This is Democracy? The State of Media Freedom and Freedom of Expression in Southern Africa for 2005, under the multiparty system there has been a dramatic increase in the number of privately-owned newspapers competing with government media. However, the report says that the weak economic base of media owners has also led to alliances between the state, private media owners and business tycoons at the expense of press freedom.
