A comprehensive and accessible introduction, this book examines a range 
of issues pertaining to theory, history and critiques of media in Africa.

Featuring contributions from global scholars, that represent both new 
and established voices on the African continent and the diaspora, this 
volume explores themes of decolonization, media freedom, media 
censorship, identity, representation, pluralism, media framing, 
political economy of the media with emphasis on ownership, market trends 
and transnational media operations in Africa. Contributors explore these 
and other topics across a variety of media tiers, types, genres and 
platforms. The book also features contributions from practicing 
journalists and media practitioners working in Africa, providing 
students with hands-on knowledge from the field. Chapters in this volume 
take an instructional approach with contributors engaging key concepts 
and related theories to explore the praxis of media in Africa through 
specific case studies.

An essential text for students of media, communication, journalism, and 
cultural studies who are studying media in Africa, as well as those 
studying global media.
