Reporting practice in the Democratic Republic of Congo

Today, in order to live at the cutting edge of information in a globalized world, man needs to be informed about what is happening in his environment and around the world. This is the news. This requires material and human resources, the media and media personnel. At the centre are the reporters, who are men in the field whose role is to collect, process and disseminate information useful to the public. But the practice on the ground is quite different in the Democratic Republic of Congo where the principle: "The Stick and the Carrot. "Information for money. Political information, the activities of the head of state and ministers, the activities of public and private companies, those of musical artists, etc., constitute the good recipe for Congolese reporters. This practice only wants to show the conditions of misery of African journalists in general and Congolese journalists in particular.
