Zimbabwe needs a new media regime, Obert Gutu wrote in the Zimbabwe Independent on June 11, 2009: "Recent reports in the state-controlled print and electronic media have deliberately distorted the main purpose of Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai’s official trip overseas. A false and clearly malicious impression is being created that Tsvangirai has been mandated by Robert Mugabe to travel to Europe and the United States to specifically call for the lifting of ‘’sanctions’’ that the MDC called for in the first instance. The propaganda does not end there. A desperate attempt is made to denigrate both the person and the office of the prime minister. It is this myopic approach to news dissemination that will prove the most lethal poison to the inclusive government. In its front page story on Tuesday, the Herald reports that Tsvangirai was in the Netherlands on a brief from Mugabe and cabinet to call for the lifting of economic sanctions. While I am not a cabinet minister and I am therefore not privy to the deliberations of cabinet, I have every reason to challenge the allegation that Mugabe and cabinet have mandated Tsvangirai to travel abroad to call for the lifting of sanctions. I have conversed with a number of cabinet ministers and none of them was able to give legitimacy and credibility to the Herald story that I am referring to herein. In short, the Herald story is distorting the main purpose of the PM’s current visit overseas. I am not surprised by the diehard attitude that still prevails in certain quarters of the state-controlled media. Most of those people who had made it a career to be Zanu PF praise-singers are still in control at both Zimpapers and the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Holdings. They are still wearing their parochial blinkers and they seem not to be aware that wherever you go in Zimbabwe today, things are in change mode."
