In the Shadow of the Global North : Journalism in Postcolonial Africa, Hardback Book

In the Shadow of the Global North : Journalism in Postcolonial Africa Hardback

Part of the Communication, Society and Politics series

Hardback

Description

In the Shadow of the Global North unpacks the historical, cultural, and institutional forces that organize and circulate journalistic narratives in Africa to show that something complex is unfolding in the postcolonial context of global journalistic landscapes, especially the relationships between cosmopolitan and national journalistic fields.

Departing from the typical discourse about journalistic depictions of Africa, j.

Siguru Wahutu turns our focus to the underexplored journalistic representations created by African journalists reporting on African countries.

In assessing news narratives and the social context within which journalists construct these narratives, Wahutu captures not only the marginalization of African narratives by African journalists but opens up an important conversation about what it means to be an African journalist, an African news organization, and African in the postcolony.
