Absolute press freedom does not exist in any country. In reality, press freedom varies by country, shaped by the socio-economic environment of the host nation. However, the Global South has allowed institutions in the North to rate press freedom in their countries using variables similar to those in the North, hence disadvantaging developing countries. Despite the varying degrees of press freedom in different countries, journalists throughout the world experience traumatic events. This chapter shows traumatic events Tanzanian journalists faced in the line of duty. Among these cases is the killing of Daudi Mwangosi, the first Tanzanian journalist to be killed while on duty. He was killed by a bomb canister fired by the police and died on the spot. The invasion of Clouds Media House by a senior government official was the first of its kind. He invaded the television studio at night, accompanied by five heavily armed policemen, and demanded what he called “my programme” to be aired. The assault on Absalom Kibanda was the most barbaric act on a journalist that shocked the nation. He had one of his fingers cut and one of his eyes pierced. Primary data was collected through face-to-face and telephone interviews, while secondary data was collected through desk research. Participants were sampled using convenience and purposive sampling techniques. Results show that press freedom violation continues with impunity despite the liberal media regime initiated by President Samia impacting the mental health of Tanzanian journalists.
