While some academic attention has been paid to the impact of new
digital technologies on African media in the colonial languages of
English, French and Portuguese, there is a dearth of research into
African language digital communication. This book analyses the
online presence of African language media. The chapters in the book
focus on the speed, structure, content, navigation and
interactivity, operations and performance, and audience of the
online media. They also pay particular attention to how social
media such as Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp have been appropriated
by African language media. Using a wide range of case studies, the
contributors assess the challenges of adopting digital technologies
by the media, and how the technologies have impacted journalistic
practice and media operations. Examining the ability of the African
language press to adopt new technologies, this book will be of
interest to scholars of media, journalism, communication, social
media and culture in Africa.
