Purposive sampling technique was used to select newspapers of 6 months; from July to December 2012 and content analysis used to analyze 552 copies of the selected newspapers. Three central conclusions have emerged. The study found that newspapers can be used to make the public access important information on matters of politics and democracy. It also argued that the government should not rely on government owned media alone in providing information to the public. This is because private owned media as this study found, have a role to play in disseminating information to those who prefer variety of media channels outside the government owned ones. Finally, the study suggests that the government can use opinions and views of the people reported by newspapers to understand what the people want and include them in the Constitution of Tanzania.
