The book focuses on critiquing Western models of journalism and practices which have been ideologically driven by the idea that journalism was a sole product of the West. Specifically using the example of foreign aid for media development, Jairo critiques Western view towards southern journalists as a hegemonic exercise of power. Lugo-Ocando takes a path-breaking approach to suggest that journalism has played a distinct role in postcolonial and non-Western societies in contributing to nation-building and that practices of journalism are an outcome of class struggle and nation-individual tensions unique to particular regions. I highly recommend this book for students and researchers interested in the history of international journalism, journalism studies, and international relations. -- Shakuntala Rao, State University of New York, Plattsburgh This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the developing dynamics of journalism in the Global South. Not only does Jairo Lugo-Ocando cleverly historicize regionally-focused journalistic developments and discourses but he also presents fresh ethical and conceptual critiques that underline the troubling relationship between journalism and foreign aid. -- Bruce Mutsvairo, Auburn University This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the developing dynamics of journalism in the Global South.
