activities: media monitoring
"One of the primary functions of the Information and Research Officer is to keep a close watch on the local media and to look out for any developments, adverse or positive, which might occur.
These developments are reported to the MISA Information Unit (MIU) in form of bulletins called an “Action Alert”.
MIU in turn forwards the Action Alerts to a broad range of press freedom, freedom of expression and human rights organisations through the International Freedom of Expression Exchange (IFEX) in Toronto, Canada, as well as publish them on the MISA Web site. This information is also published into an annual book called "So this Democracy?" .
MISA Zambia has been monitoring the media situation in Zambia since 1996.
