This paper examines the contexts in which the journalism practices his profession in the Congo, and makes some observations of general interest. Arguing that journalistic texts are not produced in a vacuum, the author discusses the various contexts which influence the journalist's discourse. He further examines the consequences of such influences on the journalist's work, and the perpectives that emerge from the analysis. He notes that political context limits the creativity of local journalists, and calls for the relaxing of censorship so that journalists may do their work more creatively.
