Readership: Cameroonian Newspaper Goes Daily to Challenge Tough Times

In mid-September, one of Cameroons most respected independent publications, Le Messager, went daily. A lot is at stake for one of the bravest voices in Central Africa. RAP 21 spoke to editor-in-chief Pius Njawe.

RAP 21: Why did you make the decision go from appearing three times a week to every day?
Pius Njawe: A number of factors explain our decision to go daily. First, we wanted to fulfil a long-time promise to our readers. We have been promising to make Le Messager a daily since our 15th anniversary in 1994. Unfortunately censorship and various types of repression has taken a toll on the press in Cameroon and did not allow us to take this risk. Weve contemplated this change many times since then, but each time we have confronted obstacles that have stopped us from taking the final leap.
