Challenges of Reporting Africa for an International Audience

This book systematically examines the challenges that confront foreign correspondents in covering Africa for an international audience in the digital era. It explores factors that influence how Africa is reported in international news and the challenges of journalism practice in Africa, including how foreign correspondents carry out their job. The book takes a thematic approach to understanding the contemporary international news environment in context and in flux, and addresses international journalism practices in Africa, particularly the factors that influence how the continent is reported. The book is inclusive and truly international in scope because it looks at issues that are rarely considered when examining how Africa is reported.
