>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 do­how 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.
