The mass media are assigned an important role in political campaigns on popular votes. As the holding of a referendum on a new constitution on March 16 2012 approaches, the Media Monitoring Project Zimbabwe (MMPZ) would be carrying daily media updates on this momentous event until March 15, the eve of voting. This is aimed primarily at establishing whether the media is communicating pertinent information to the public during the final referendum campaigns.
