Sampled newspapers for this project are Zanzibar Leo, Daily News, The Guardian, The Citizen, Habari Leo, Nipashe, Mwananchi, Uhuru, Tanzania Daima, Mtanzania, Raia Tanzania, Jambo Leo, and Majira whereas electronic media outlets sampled are Star TV, TBC1, ITV, Radio One, TBC Taifa, Clouds Fm, Radio Free Africa, Azam TV and Channel Ten. On the electronic media outlets all programmes related to elections are monitored including news bulletins.
