The liberty of the press is highly precarious in numerous African nations, including
those that have substantial press freedom rankings. Journalists continue to encounter
mistreatment, persecution, detentions, and aggressions for their professional activities.
Hence, this present study was aimed to examine the challenges facing press freedom
in Africa and Cameroon in particular.
To gain insight on the challenges facing press freedom in Cameroon, the qualitative
research method was used through an online video interview technique with media
experts within the private sector in Cameroon. And, in defining the sample population
which consists of journalists working in the private sector a purposive sampling
method is adopted and a total of 15 journalists were chosen from 12 different media
organizations in Cameroon. In effect, an online video interview was conducted and
was deemed appropriate because of distance and the size of the country, and going for
an online interview will enable us reach a representative sample. Then the data were
analyzed with the help of Nvivo software.
Moreover, the study helped in identifying the different challenges facing press freedom
in Africa and Cameroon in particular as well as the role play by the government in the
promotion of press freedom in the country. Again, the findings served as milestones
proposing long-lasting solutions to the Government in the promotion of press freedom
and democracy.
