This is the first research monograph investigating Irish print
media coverage of the AIDS/HIV pandemic in sub-Saharan Africa and
situated within the context of the Irish and global pandemic. It
adds to the existing knowledge of the relationship between media
and Africa, and more specifically media and HIV/AIDS. Ireland has
always had a broad sympathy with Africa based on the colonial
experience endured by both and a strong tradition of missionary,
education, and aid /development involvement since the 19th century.
Gaffey examines the Irish print media as having some of the same
initial reactions as the British, American and other Anglophone
presses but some unique features (Irish media was initially much
more furtive and inexact as to the sexual nature of transmission
and risk and some papers refused to discuss condoms fearing Church
censure). The study then traces the growing interest in the issue,
interviews by editors and journalists in Africa, and a gradual
maturing and confidence in the coverage of this calamity.
