Abstract

“voice of the voiceless” by offering sublet avenues of expression,” (Mano 2007, 61). Good examples cited by the authors include a great joke about a goat, school fees and a minister. I won’t tell the joke here, it would ruin you reading the book, which I encourage you to do. It tells the story of going beyond the journalism of: I write, you read disruption, but adds the textured layer of the economic, cultural, political particularisms in the discussions and analysis of disruption in journalism and audience participation. There are both universals and particularisms in this book, that is to say, universally journalism is disrupted but how audience participation occurs differs in the sub-Saharan continent. It is readable, with sparks of humour, but also a significant academic contribution, especially within the foregrounding of decolonial thinking from the global south. Glenda Daniels is an associate professor in Media Studies Wits University.

寻找新肯尼亚：蒙巴萨街头的政治和社交媒体

“无声者的声音”，通过提供转租的表达途径，“（马诺，2007，61）。作者引用的好例子包括一个关于山羊、学费和部长的笑话。我不会在这里讲笑话，这会毁了你读这本书，我鼓励你这样做。它告诉了超越新闻业的故事：我写作，你阅读颠覆，但在对新闻业颠覆和观众参与的讨论和分析中增加了经济、文化和政治特殊性的纹理层。这本书既有普遍性，也有特殊性，也就是说，新闻业普遍受到干扰，但观众参与的方式在撒哈拉以南大陆有所不同。它可读性强，充满幽默，但也有重要的学术贡献，尤其是在全球南方非殖民化思想的前沿。格伦达·丹尼尔斯是威茨大学媒体研究所的副教授。

期刊介绍： Accredited by the South African Department of Higher Education and Training for university research purposes African Journalism Studies subscribes to the Code of Best Practice for Peer Reviewed Scholarly Journals of the Academy of Science of South Africa. African Journalism Studies ( AJS) aims to contribute to the ongoing extension of the theories, methodologies and empirical data to under-researched areas of knowledge production, through its emphasis on African journalism studies within a broader, comparative perspective of the Global South. AJS strives for theoretical diversity and methodological inclusivity, by developing theoretical approaches and making critical interventions in global scholarly debates. The journal''s comparative and interdisciplinary approach is informed by the related fields of cultural and media studies, communication studies, African studies, politics, and sociology. The field of journalism studies is understood broadly, as including the practices, norms, value systems, frameworks of representation, audiences, platforms, industries, theories and power relations that relate to the production, consumption and study of journalism. A wide definition of journalism is used, which extends beyond news and current affairs to include digital and social media, documentary film and narrative non-fiction.
