Produktbeschreibung
Historically, the role of media and representations of individual nations have been very contentious issue among groups of nations on both sides of the East-West or North-South divide. Though a lot has been changed in global media landscape since the 1970's and 1980's, the question of media representation still remains a central concern for many developing nations in the South. The issue is not only what kind of representations the developing world have in the media outlets from the developed world. It is also how similarly or differently the developing world is represented in the media coverage of the developing world itself. This book tries to provide a critical assessment of the foreign news coverage of the Ethiopian print media to identify the roles and representations of both the developed and the developing world have and to determine how the use of sources relate to the kind of representations these parts of the world receive in the local media outlets in the country. In this regard, the book can be important resource for media scholars and students who are grappling with the issues of media representations and their implications to the question of national development.
