Related literature was reviewed. The quantitative ( descriptive) research design was adopted. Secondary data were gathered from journals, books, technical and research reports including theses, dissertations, magazines, newspapers, the internet and other relevant documents on public relations and hospitality and airline business. Primary data were also gathered from 25 journalists in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Self-administered questionnaires made up of both open-ended and closed-ended questions were distributed to the 25 journalists. After analysing the data, it was found that challenges of journalists in Dar er Salaam include blackmail, death threats, physical assault and verbal assault. Others are torture and maltreatments, administrative and judicial harassment, inadequate journalism training, stigmatisation by state authorities and disappearances of journalists as well as lack of safety and difficulty in accessing information regarding the oil and gas industry in Tanzania. It was suggested that mixed methods research (i.e. combination of quantitative and qualitative research) should be conducted in the same area to provide both surface description and deeper understanding of the issues involved. Issues as to whether journalism in Dar er Salaam is male dominated and print media dominated should be investigated in future research.enThesis
