Who’s Reporting Africa Now? - Kate Wright (University of Edinburgh).

Who’s Reporting Africa Now? (Abstract)
As Western news organisations cut correspondent posts and foreign bureaux, non-governmental organisations (NGOS) have begun to expand into news reporting. But why and how do journalists use the photographs, video and audio that NGOs produce? How has the shift of NGO-workers into news production changed NGOs and news organisations? And what effects have these changes had on the kinds of mediated stories which are told about Africa? In this talk, Kate Wright will discuss her research in this area, which culminated in the recent publication of her new monograph, Who’s Reporting Africa Now? In this book, she uses five strongly contrasting case studies to examine the nature and consequences of NGOs’ media production, in relation to humanitarian, human rights, international development and disability campaigning.
