This paper seeks to examine how female victims of IPH are represented in the Botswana print media. Drawing on data collected from 63 newspaper articles published in four Botswana newspapers between January 2010 and December 2013, the study found that the Botswana print media outlets generally do not represent female victims of IPH in a fair manner as they maintain denigration, degradation and infantilisation of women in their reports. At a macro level, this representation seems to be influenced by an embedded patriarchal ideology. At a micro level, media coverage of intimate femicide tends to sensationalise the causes of passion killings by employing a victim-blaming frame in the representations of the female victims. Using a Critical Discourse Analytical approach, we argue that this mode of media representation does not only maintain the existing gender inequality but also reinforces, perpetuates and naturalises a vicious gender circle. While media reports may have translated the embedded patriarchal ideology to its reporting on the female victims of IPH, we suggest that efforts to achieve gender equality should involve public education including gender-sensitive reporting by public and private print media.","PeriodicalId":54049,"journal":{"name":"African Journalism Studies","volume":"42 1","pages":"17 - 35"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/23743670.2021.1884581","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47731664","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to evaluate the dominant frames that emerged in the coverage of the election as well as the tones used by the international news sources in the coverage of Nigeria's 2019 general election. Empirical evidence reveals that the political system frame, human interest/people frame, and violence frame are the major frames that emerged from the international news sources. We also found that the tone of the international media coverage of Nigeria's 2019 general election was neutral, although the sum of news stories reported in a negative and critical manner was also relatively noticeable, especially by the American news sources. Overall, we conclude that the foreign media coverage and framing of Nigeria's 2019 general election were relatively neutral, hence maintaining the time-honoured fundamental values of journalism and election coverage—balance and fairness.","PeriodicalId":54049,"journal":{"name":"African Journalism Studies","volume":"42 1","pages":"91 - 107"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/23743670.2021.1887909","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48531859","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this research is to explore the type of journalism that has been implemented in the Ethiopian state media. The research follows a qualitative approach to conduct in-depth interviews and to do a document analysis. Apposite documents were gathered from Ethiopian Broadcast Corporation (owned by the federal government) and four regional state mass media houses. The researcher interviewed several media managers and journalists from the state media houses. The findings of the research show that PR practitioners are increasingly working as agenda-setters and gatekeepers while they deter investigative reporting, constructive criticism and ethical practices of the profession. The paper concludes that the PR-driven model of journalism is what the Ethiopian state media are practising. This paper also identifies the major features of the PR-driven journalism model. The research concludes that state media are often idealistic to implement DJ and suggests that community media needs to be considered for the implementation of DJ model of reporting.","PeriodicalId":54049,"journal":{"name":"African Journalism Studies","volume":"42 1","pages":"108 - 127"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/23743670.2021.1888138","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43348125","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Central to the study was an endeavour to demonstrate how the multidimensional crisis in Zimbabwe supported the emergence of citizen journalism and how citizen journalists constructed alternative political narratives and counterhegemonic discourses of the crisis on the platform. The theoretical point of departure is that of interpretive communities. Zelizer (1993. “Journalists as Interpretive Communities.” Critical Studies in Mass Communication 10 (3): 219–237) observes that journalists become an interpretive community when they are united through shared discourses and collective interpretations of key public events. The argument is that AMH Voices emerged as an interpretive community of citizen journalists bound by common counterhegemonic interpretations of the crisis. The methodological approach to data analysis was critical discourse analysis which allowed the researcher to investigate meanings, emerging themes and ideological bias of citizen journalism. The study established that citizen news discourses at AMH Voices were mostly framed in non-dominant perspectives using interpretive news writing styles to express alternative political narratives, challenge the status quo and advocate for radical political change. The interpretive writing style foregrounded the citizen journalists’ interpretations, opinions and emotions regarding the crisis.","PeriodicalId":54049,"journal":{"name":"African Journalism Studies","volume":"42 1","pages":"1 - 16"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/23743670.2020.1855457","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46828945","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
