Call for Papers: Culture and Politics in African Media Studies Working Paper Series



Culture and Politics in African Media Studies Working Paper Series

This series of occasional papers will focus on contemporary issues within African media studies.

Preference will be given to research that emphasizes the particular cultural and political factors that have shaped the development of media systems and vice versa. Such issues could include, for example, the role of media in the nation and state-building process, the consolidation of political power, reconciliation (or its failure) and conflict/post-conflict situations.

Also to be examined is why particular media systems develop the way they do—how leaders, journalists and cultural systems shape the media.

ICT, radio, television, press, as well as other forms of media such as poetry, theater and sermons, will be considered.

This project is a joint effort of the Center for Global Communication Studies (Annenberg School, University of Pennsylvania), the African Studies Center (University of Pennsylvania) and the Stanhope Centre for Communications Policy Research.
