Digital Methods in Africa and Beyond: A View from Down Under
This article offers an Australian perspective on the definitions, significance and potential of digital methods in digital media, communication and cultural studies. We begin by situating this perspective in terms of postcolonial geography and disciplinarity and then argue for the value of hybrid digital methods, by which we mean the integration of computational methods and knowledges with qualitative and critical frameworks and approaches. We apply this framework in providing a brief commentary on each of the articles included in this Special Issue, demonstrating how they are all in various ways making important contributions to the further development of hybrid digital methods in African contexts and in digital media research more broadly.
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.
