520 _aThe 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.
