In media ethics, brown envelope journalism (BEJ) is a term used to describe the practice of journalists accepting monetary or other incentives in exchange for favorable news coverage or the suppression of negative information.[1][2] The phenomenon undermines journalistic integrity and the independence of the media, leading to biased reporting influenced by external interests.[1] The practice is not limited to one country, rather it is observed in other African countries, namely Tanzania, Nigeria, and in Ghana where it is called soli and in Cameroon where it is known as gombo.[1] The practice is also reported in Gulf countries such as Kuwait.[3]
BEJ is often justified by journalists due to low salaries and inadequate compensation for work-related expenses.[1]
