Abstract: This paper examines the relationship between the triple concept of media, democracy and development in terms of how they relate to each other within the African context generally, and specifically to Cameroon. The paper studies them individually and then as an entity and looks at the impact they create on each other and on society at large. The research methods employed include mainly secondary sources and observation. The findings of the investigation reveal that although different, the three phenomena are interdependent and indispensable in the construction of a society and Civil society that satisfactorily address the aspirations of the people. Based on the foregone, it is recommended that stakeholders put all hands on deck for the desired results to be achieved. The state must above all, provide an enabling environment for success to come about.
Keywords: Media, democracy, development, multi-party politics, Cameroon, Africa, governance, poverty.
