>Culture and Politics in African Media Studies
>
>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 statebuilding process, 
>the consolidation of political power, 
>reconciliation (or its failure) and 
>conflict/post-conflict situations. Also to be 
>considered is why particular media systems 
>develop the way they do- how leaders, 
>journalists and cultural systems shape the 
>media. ICT, western media forms (radio, 
>television, press) as well as traditional media 
>such as poetry, sermons, etc. will be considered.
>
>While submissions from all countries are 
>welcome, the priority will be to focus on those 
>countries with less academic research. Our 
>interest is in developing comparative 
>understanding of the role of the media in 
>countries that are failing to move out of 
>poverty and often times are ignored by the 
>broader media and development literature. Thus 
>at least initially, countries such as South 
>Africa, Egypt, Mauritius and Morocco will not be 
>prioritized for this series while preference 
>will be given to countries such as Ethiopia, the DRC, Sudan and Malawi.
