This collection, arranged and edited by Beverly G. Hawk,
examines media coverage of Africa by American television,
newspapers, and magazines. Scholars and journalists of diverse
experience engage in debate concerning U.S. media coverage of
current events in Africa. As each African crisis appears in the
headlines, scholars take the media to task for sensational and
simplistic reporting. Journalists, in response, explain the
constraints of censorship, reader interest, and media economics.
Hawk's book demonstrates that academia and the press can inform
each other to present a fuller and more sensitive picture of Africa
today.
This volume will be of interest to scholars and practitioners in
African studies, African politics, journalism, and international
relations.
