Last Moyo presents the Print and Electronic Media in Zimbawe. The Zimbabwe Media Commission (ZMC), authorised in February 2009 as part of the constitutional amendment that formed the government of national unity, oversees media registration and the authorization of foreign media players. The commission carries out this mandate in consultation with sector stakeholders to restore freedom of the press in Zimbabwe.
In May 2010, the ZMC called on all journalists and media houses to register. This subsequently saw the registration of 3 daily newspapers; NewsDay, The Daily News and The Daily Mail. All three are independent newspapers and join The Herald and the Chronicle for a total of 5 daily newspapers in publication. In April 2011, more publications were registered bringing the total number of applications registered by the ZMC since its formation to 22.
The Broadcasting Authority of Zimbabwe (BAZ), established by the Broadcasting Services Act (BSA) in 2001, licenses broadcasting media houses in Zimbabwe. Currently, the state owned broadcaster, Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation (ZBC), enjoys a monopoly of the airwaves for both radio and television.
Some attempts have been made by independent broadcasters to register to no avail. Once such example is Community Radio Harare (CORAH) which, after being denied a license to broadcast has filed an application with the High Court seeking a relief to have its broadcasting license application considered by BAZ.
