Foreign Aid and Journalism in the Global South: A Mouthpiece for
Truth examines the way in which foreign aid has shaped professional
ideologies of journalism as part of systematic and orchestrated
efforts since the beginning of the twentieth century to shape
journalism as a political institution of the Global South. Foreign
aid pushed for cultural convergence around a set of ideologies as a
way of exporting ideology and expanding markets, reflecting the
market society along with the expansion of U.S. power and culture
across the globe. Jairo Lugo-Ocando argues that these policies were
not confined to the Cold War and were not a purely modern
phenomenon; today's journalism grammar was not invented in one
place and spread to the rest, but was instead a forced colonial and
post-colonial nation-building exercise that reflected both
imposition and contestation to these attempts. As a result,
Lugo-Ocando claims, journalism grammar and ideology differ between
societies in the Global South, regardless of claims of
universality. Scholars of journalism, international relations,
Latin American Studies, and history will find this book
particularly useful.
