Politics and Journalism in Francophone Africa: Systems, Practices and Identities


Add your own review!

Overview

This book provides a comprehensive approach of the media, journalism and politics in Sub-Saharan Francophone Africa. The author argues that there are common features that the media and journalism share in the seventeen countries of Francophone Africa and these make the local media systems different from what they are in neighboring English-speaking African countries, and in the rest of the world. The approach of the media in French-speaking Africa has not only to be “de-Westernized”, but also to step out of general overviews considering “African media."" This project shows the historical, political, economic and sociological characteristics of the media systems of seventeen French-speaking countries of Africa.
