Politics and Journalism in Francophone Africa
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.
Journalismes d'Afrique
"Les standards et pratiques en matière de médias ne sont pas universels. Au sein même du continent africain, le journalisme est pluriel et contrasté, dépendant du contexte linguistique et des situations locales. ... Cet ouvrage explore les systèmes médiatiques d'Afrique subsaharienne francophone et propose des clés pour aborder leurs spécificités via nombre d'éléments historiques, politiques, sociologiques, juridiques, économiques et technologiques, indispensables pour les replacer dans leur contexte. ... Cet ouvrage s'adresse aux étudiants et aux enseignants en journalisme de tout l'espace francophone, ainsi qu'aux journalistes professionnels et aux structures actives dans l'appui aux médias africains."--Page 4 of cover.

New Media and Religious Transformations in Africa
New Media and Religious Transformations in Africa casts a critical look at Africa's rapidly evolving religious media scene. Following political liberalization, media deregulation, and the proliferation of new media technologies, many African religious leaders and activists have appropriated such media to strengthen and expand their communities and gain public recognition. Media have also been used to marginalize and restrict the activities of other groups, which has sometimes led to tension, conflict, and even violence. Showing how media are rarely neutral vehicles of expression, the contributors to this multidisciplinary volume analyze the mutual imbrications of media and religion during times of rapid technological and social change in various places throughout Africa.
