‘Launching of Book’

 

 

It was a pleasure to be at the University of Mauritius for the launching of the book on ‘Enhancing Democratic Systems: The Media in Mauritius’. I am given to understand that this book is the fruitful outcome of the proceedings of the workshop that was held in September 2010 under the aegis of the Faculty of Social Studies and Humanities with the strategic support of UNESCO’s Eastern Africa cluster.I trust that the book we launched captures the exchanges and thoughts of a range of stakeholders – academics, media professionals and operators, regulatory bodies and even political actors on the interface between the media and democracy.  We need to take such studies into our classrooms, newsrooms to educate the public about the challenges we face in enhancing and consolidating democracy in Mauritius.
