ouch, ouch, ouch - Tanzanian proposal is too much.

So, there's this proposal for a Media Standards Board, to be appointed by a Minister, put forward by the Tanzanian government in February. Among the functions of this body is to:

Accordingly, "no person shall practise professional journalism in Tanzania" unless accredited by the Board.
