Routledge contemporary Africa
Content:
"The book delves into the urgent topic of media ownership in Africa. It starts from a much-needed historical perspective then covers contemporary digital developments and the Chinese strategic involvement in the continent. This book examines the evolving forms of media ownership in Africa and how they interact with broader geopolitical changes in and outside the continent. The contributions look at different media ownerships and their implications on freedoms, governance, development and democracy across the continent to give a rich account of how power structures are both evolving yet challenged offering an ever-growing media ecosystem. Offering a significant representation of the diversity of existing media systems, the book goes beyond the postcolonial geographical divisions of North and South Africa to highlight common patterns and significant similarities and differences between the diverse African countries. The contributors to the volume expose media patterns that are shifting, battling, resurging, evolving but most importantly affecting development and democracy in a complex way. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of media and communications in Africa"--
