Local Media

Newspapers in Zimbabwe are mostly in English, with the two daily papers (The Herald and The Chronicle) controlled by the Information Ministry. There are also a number of English-language weeklies, including The Financial Gazette, Zimbabwe Independent and The Standard. The Zimbabwean is produced in London and distributed in Zimbabwe as an international publication.

The state-run Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation (ZBC) operates the country's only television (ZTV1) and radio stations (National FM, Power FM, Radio Zimbabwe and S-FM). Although there are no private radio stations in Zimbabwe itself, the country is targeted by overseas-based operations, such as:

• Voice of the People (broadcasts from a shortwave transmitter on Madagascar)
• SW Radio Africa (studio in London, broadcasts via mediumwave (AM) transmitter based outside Zimbabwe)
• Studio 7 (based in Washington DC and operated by VOA - Voice of America)
