Political reporting needs a boost
Okay. So maybe it’s the same world over. But I found the headlines from this weekend’s papers particularly depressing:
- Go to hell, Tsvangirai tells Generals (The Standard)
- Mugabe wants deadlock on constitution (The Standard)
- Armed forces averted coup, says Shiri (The Herald – Talking not about any specific or recent coup, but about a coup that might have been in the era of the rapidly collapsing Zim Dollar)
- COPAC Management Committee exposed (The Sunday Mail)
Is this really as pathetic as our politics is? Or is it just as good as our local press can do?
