The Revolution Will be Digitized!

When the Zimbabwean government  shut down the country’s only private daily newspaper, The Daily News, on 12 September last year, the Internet became the only place where the state could not extend its claws. Production was forced to stop on 12 September when armed police raided the newspaper's office in Harare. Staff were ordered from the premises and computer equipment was confiscated. The Daily News continues to battle the government of Zimbabwe. Virtually, of course! The newspaper changed its domain name .co.zw to co.za, which technically means that it it is not published in Zimbabwe. Therefore, it is not breaking the law! Find the newspaper here.
