JOURNALISTS WELCOME ACCESS TO INFORMATION BILL
ARTICLE 19 and the Media Institute of Southern Africa-Mozambique (MISA) have welcomed a draft bill that gives citizens in the country the right to obtain information held by public authorities. After five years of consultations, the government has introduced the draft Law of Mozambique on Access to Official Sources of Information that press freedom advocates hope will pave the way towards greater transparency and government accountability.

CPJ PRESSES AUTHORITIES TO STEP UP MURDER PROBE
Mozambique's journalists will continue to live in fear as long as the murder of investigative reporter Carlos Cardoso remains unsolved. That's the conclusion of a Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) special report last week based on interviews and research conducted during a visit to the country last July. Written by Yves Sokorobi, the report urges the government to step up its inquiry into Cardoso's November 2000 murder and requests an official response from authorities.

FEAR AND SELF-CENSORSHIP IN WAKE OF CARDOSO MURDER
Eight months after the murder of investigative journalist Carlos Cardoso, Mozambican journalists are afraid to cover sensitive stories, particularly those involving corruption, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ). The organisation reached this conclusion after a recent four-day visit to the Mozambican capital, Maputo, during which CPJ representatives met with dozens of journalists from both state-owned and private media as well as high-ranking government officials.

FREE EXPRESSION ADVOCATE AND JOURNALIST MURDERED
On 22 November, "Metical" editor Carlos Cardoso was shot and killed by unknown assailants in an ambush, provoking international outreage, according to reports by numerous IFEX members. While the motive is unknown, "the exposures carried in "Metical" may well have earned Cardoso enemies in powerful spheres of the illegal trade," says the Media Institute of Southern Africa (MISA). ARTICLE 19 states that "Metical" published several articles on the alleged wrongdoings by the Mozambique Commercial Bank. In addition, only one week before he was murdered, Cardoso launched a campaign against "the gangster faction" in the ruling FRELIMO party, "which he accused of provoking recent political violence in the country," says the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ). Cardoso was known internationally for his work on political corruption and organized crime in Mozambique. Cardoso founded the country's first independent newspaper, "Mediafax", at the beginning of the 1990s and launched "Metical" in 1998, states the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ).

ELECTION COVERAGE MORE TRANSPARENT
Media coverage of Mozambique's 3-4 December 1999 presidential elections by the publicly-owned media was significantly more impartial than in the 1994 elections, says ARTICLE 19 and the Mozambique Human Rights League (LDH) in a recently released joint report on the elections. There was significantly less violence and greater freedom of movement for all political parties and the media than in the last elections. The groups report, however, that the electoral playing field in Mozambique remains uneven due to the "ruling party's ability to raise much greater funds for its campaign than its opponents, including through harnessing state resources." ARTICLE 19 and LDH state that the FRELIMO party, and its leader President Joaquim Chissano who was re-elected in December, continue to have undue amounts of influence over the media. The report notes that the FRELIMO party received considerably more coverage than the opposition parties.
