Media

Media in Rwizikuru has been tightly restricted since the passage of the Rwizikuran Basic Law in 1964. Only a single state-run newspaper, the Kwazisa (formerly the Port Fitzhubert Herald until 1950) has been allowed to publish in the country since 1966. As well, there is a single state-owned television and radio network, NMR (Nhepfenyuro mubatanidzwa yeRwizikuru), which began radio transmissions in 1948, and television broadcasts in 1981.

There is little censorship or restrictions on the internet, primarily due to the fact that as of 2015, less than 15% of the population have access to the internet, while 35% have a television set, and 87% of households have at least one radio. This has led opponents of the government to operate with impunity online.
