Media Council of Tanzania (MCT) Established due to the dictates of transformation to liberal policies in early 90s which induced the proliferation of media outlets, the Media Council of Tanzania (MCT) is committed to promoting freedom of the media and ensuring the highest professional standards and accountability. It was started by the media fraternity as an independent, voluntary, non-statutory regulatory body in June 30, 1995 during the journalists and stakeholders Convention held in Dar es Salaam. It began operations in 1997 when it was officially registered under the Societies Ordinance of 1954. Initially the Council focused on checking ethical lapses in the media. Through its Ethics Committee, it mediated complaints raised by the public against the media. Gradually its activities increased to include training on ethics and professionalism to fill the yawning gap of trained practitioners in the bloated media industry. It is important to note the proliferation of media outlets did not match with the qualified practitioners available. It also has two information research centres catering for media practitioners, scholars, researchers and journalism students in both Zanzibar and Dar es Salaam. The Council is an equal opportunity employer, hence all qualified candidates are encouraged to apply.
