While the rather scanty private press that existed at the time was subject to prior censorship, a different kind of censorship - self-censorship prevailed at the Radio where topics for commentaries were vetted by the Minister of Information or his delegate. But for Anglophones working in a predominantly francophone environment, once topics were approved, the authorities could not be sure which direction commentaries were going to take as the journalists applied the tactics of 'bite and blow', sometimes giving full expression of their Anglo-Saxon spirit of debate and critical analysis as evidenced in this selection of commentaries from the Sunday morning commentary programme, "Cameroon Report" (now "Cameroon Calling") of the late 1970's up till 1986. It is a showcase of the irrepressible seed of freedom of expression that Anglophone journalists were imbued with and demonstrated at a time when subjects related to coups d'état, human rights and governance were considered taboo. It was and shall remain the indelible input of the Anglophone character that has had a positive influence on Cameroon's media landscape. 410 0$aUPCC book collections on Project MUSE. 606 $aRadio journalism$zCameroon 606 $aJournalism$zCameroon 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aRadio journalism 615 0$aJournalism 676 $a070.194 701 $aFonkem$b Michael Sam-Nuvala$0865404 701 $aNkwenti$b Wilfred$0865405 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464789603321 996 $aIncisive journalism in Cameroon$91931491 997 $aUNINA
