Developing News sets out to describe how development is articulated
in the news and used by newspeople as an analytical category to
explain the world. It is about examining development as a discourse
that is based on the harmful contrast between the developed and the
developing (or the underdeveloped) and that sets the boundaries for
what is permissible to say. Jairo Lugo-Ocando and An Nguyen begin
by discussing the news coverage of development that emerged as a
news category for newspapers and broadcasters after World War II.
They move on to examine the way development has been reported by
the mainstream media, exploring the rationales and ideologies that
determined and continue to define the way the media think about and
represent development in the news. In doing so, the authors
contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between
the news agenda, news sources and the development policies that are
set in the centres of power. This book is ideal for those studying
and researching and studying issues to do with journalism and the
"Third World". It may also be relevant for those students taking
courses in global or international journalism, media and democracy,
development studies or international politics. Above all, it is an
invitation for journalists to rethink their own practice in
representing international development and its component.
