Abstract:After a general review of the range and influence of newspapers in Africa today, the author observes that African newspaper which were vigorously in the vanguard of the nationalist struggle for independence now have relatively less freedom to publish under indigenous Africa governments they helped to found than they did under white colonialists. In this article the reasons responsible for what has rightly been described as the devitalization of the African press, are analysed.
