摘要

尽管非洲人的主流叙事是西方媒体以片面和消极的方式描绘非洲，但由于BBC的非洲之眼纪录片的介入，这种信念正在受到挑战。虽然该系列关注的是非洲的黑暗面，但它成功地以非常详细的方式揭示了关于非洲，特别是尼日利亚的隐藏故事，许多公民对这些故事一无所知。因此，负面报道可能有助于纠正社会异常现象，并为纠正这些异常现象指明了前进的道路。这一发展改变了游戏规则，恢复了尼日利亚观众对西方媒体的信心。

BBC Africa Eye and changing perceptions of Western media among Nigerian audiences

Although the dominant narrative among Africans is that Western media portray Africa in a one-sided and negative way, this belief is being challenged as a result of the intervention of the BBC’s Africa Eye documentaries. Although the series focuses on the dark side of Africa, it succeeds in revealing, in great detail, hidden stories about Africa, particularly Nigeria, of which many citizens were ignorant. As such, negative coverage may help to correct social anomalies and chart a way forward for correcting them. This development is a game-changer that has restored Nigerian audiences' confidence in Western media.

It welcomes contributions on any aspect of television—production studies and institutional histories, audience and reception studies, theoretical approaches, conceptual paradigms and pedagogical questions. It continues to invite analyses of the compositional principles and aesthetics of texts, as well as contextual matters relating to both contemporary and past productions. CST also features book reviews, dossiers and debates. The journal is scholarly but accessible, dedicated to generating new knowledge and fostering a dynamic intellectual platform for television studies.
