Media
There are claims that there are government limits on ability to broadcast freely on the radio but, overall, Botswana welcomes public debate and freedom of expression, as its constitution dictates. State-run television did not appear until 2000 but radio tends to have more dominance as a medium. Printed media are mostly limited to major cities and towns.
