Zimbabwe: Between the lines
The Zimbabwean government's move to ask two independent newspapers it has banned to re-register is being viewed with much scepticism in local media circles.
The Daily News and the Daily News on Sunday, both published by Associated Newspapers of Zimbabwe (ANZ), were shut down by the government-controlled Media and Information Commission (MIC) in September 2003 after they failed to register under the controversial Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act (AIPPA).
The newspapers had been critical of the ZANU-PF government. The Daily News, set up in 1999, was believed to have the biggest circulation in the country - around 100,000 - when it was closed.
Chinondidyachii Mararike, the chair of a special MIC committee, recently told the official daily newspaper, the Herald, that they were waiting for ANZ to submit its application, after being directed to do so by Information Minister Sikhanyiso Ndlovu.
