n African Renaissance - The West and Michael Peel's Africa

Abstract

The developing world, Africa in particular, has always argued against the imbalances and injustices in the coverage of their affairs by the western media. Such coverage is not only paternalistic but often grossly unfair, and serves only to sustain the imperialistic interests of the developed world. Such unbalanced, negative and biased reporting is bound to continue because of the concentration of global media networks and resources in the West.
