Based on the study's findings, the chapter explores how the use of online communities can assist and empower youth, particularly African young people, to overcome barriers, empower and foster civic engagement. This chapter begins with a review of key literature, and then a summary of the study methodology, followed by a discussion of the study findings and their potential for African youth. Results of the study indicated that five facilitating factors and two barriers were influential towards youth civic engagement in an online context. Adult perceptions of youth and the low credibility of online communities were found to act as significant barriers to online youth participation. Given these key findings from the study, the authors show how to employ online communities to engage African youth civic participation and decision making.","PeriodicalId":236880,"journal":{"name":"Dialectical Perspectives on Media, Health, and Culture in Modern Africa","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128026468","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is amplified when media comes into play. Television drama series has far reaching effects on the viewers' perceptions of social issues in every culture and society. This is because the television drama series construct a reality that the viewers believe to be true or ideal. The purpose of this study was assessing of Papa Shirandula TV drama in stereotyping femininity and masculinity on the viewers in Kakamega. This research was carried out among the residents of Kakamega municipality who are audiences of Papa Shirandula TV show. The results show that femininity was portrayed in terms of a woman being a housewife, homemaker, and mother—ignorant, inferior, emotional, and dependent on men—while masculinity was portrayed in terms of a man being a breadwinner, head of family, superior, non-emotional, independent, and decision maker.","PeriodicalId":236880,"journal":{"name":"Dialectical Perspectives on Media, Health, and Culture in Modern Africa","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116027801","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Modern information and communication technologies (ICTs) have a pivotal role to play in tackling health-related problems by empowering individuals and equipping decision makers with timely information about critical health issues. This study aimed to evaluate the appropriation of mobile phone applications in enhancing maternal-child health knowledge in rural areas in Kenya with special focus on Busia County. Findings indicated that mobile phone dissemination of maternal health knowledge has a possibility of accelerating access and utilisation of skilled facility services. Therefore, emerging technologies can offer real opportunities to communities by enabling them get reliable and timely information on maternal-child health issues.","PeriodicalId":236880,"journal":{"name":"Dialectical Perspectives on Media, Health, and Culture in Modern Africa","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127723787","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Transtheoretical stages of change and Health Belief Model guided the study. Quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics in line with the study objectives, while qualitative data was analyzed thematically. The study findings indicated that radio and television had not played a key role in creating awareness about cervical cancer as less than 20% of respondents reported to have received their information from radio and televisions while over 74% reported to have received their information from other sources other than radio and television. This was despite the fact that more than 90% of the respondents reported to own a radio and/or a television. The study concluded that cervical cancer prevention cannot be achieved through messages on traditional media such as radio and television. It therefore recommended a multi-sectoral approach by relevant stakeholders through other diverse strategies such as interpersonal communication.","PeriodicalId":236880,"journal":{"name":"Dialectical Perspectives on Media, Health, and Culture in Modern Africa","volume":"123 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115022716","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The journalistic work is being threatened by the political influences, the emergence of online journalism, and citizen journalism, which the journalists have no control over. The big dilemma is the seemingly declining professionalism of journalism. Given these contextual trends coupled with the structural changes in journalism as a practice, this chapter explores the professional autonomy of Kenyan journalists based on a study carried out in Nairobi County.","PeriodicalId":236880,"journal":{"name":"Dialectical Perspectives on Media, Health, and Culture in Modern Africa","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133136848","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study utilized qualitative methodology and purpose sampling on 22 participants. In-depth interviews were used to generate data that was then analyzed thematically. The findings revealed that language differences between the immigrant and local traders are a fundamental intercultural communication factor that influences the business ventures for immigrant traders in Toi market. The study recommends actualization of cross cultural programmes to anchor the learning of host languages for the immigrant traders and intercultural awareness skills for both immigrant and local traders/host nationals in the Kenyan informal markets. That would ultimately translate to effective intercultural communication, harmonious co-existence and further enhance social economic development that is inherent to today's globalised world.","PeriodicalId":236880,"journal":{"name":"Dialectical Perspectives on Media, Health, and Culture in Modern Africa","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122404274","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
