Sinopsis

Africa’s Media Image in the 21st Century is the first book in over twenty years to examine the international news coverage of Africa. It brings together leading researchers and prominent journalists to explore the current state of news coverage of the continent and its people. The book makes a substantial contribution by moving the academic discussion beyond the traditional critiques of journalistic stereotyping, Afro-pessimism, and ’dark Africa’ news coverage, and by exploring the international power dynamics, and the structures and technologies of global news production which shape and reshape the contemporary media image of Africa.
