Introduction
This introduction to the special issue “Media, Gender, and Sexuality in Africa” highlights the pressing need for a more comprehensive and nuanced body of scholarship on feminisms, gender identities, sexualities, and media representations across Africa. While important research has emerged in recent years, significant gaps remain, particularly in understanding how sexuality is constructed, contested, and mediated within diverse African contexts. E…

Communication for Development
Place and role of development communication in directed social change
In this article we review the scholarly work in the field of development communication and outline its significance to the broader areas of critical and cultural studies as well as social and political action in the public sphere. We will start out by laying a historical and conceptual account of this field. Later, we will focus on contemporary issues relating to development communication (devcom) and its quest for social justice in directed soci…
Discovery channel’s Jungle Gold in Ghana
Discovery Channel’s Jungle Gold follows two American real estate moguls who lost their fortunes in the 2008 economic collapse to the Ashanti region of Ghana, West Africa, where they unabashedly engage in illegal gold mining (galamsey). This article examines the dialectic between the forces of hegemonic globalization and resistance by critically examining the content of the television series, the ensuing discourse, and policy actions in Ghana. Bor…

Toward a ‘macro-micro’ analysis of gender, power and ICTs
This essay, in response to Micky Lee’s article in this issue, agrees with her macro-level argument that the UNDP’s human development approach to new ICTs and global indices are grounded in old modernist models privileging neoliberal economic imperatives, treat ICTs as gender neutral and ignore global power relations. However, the authors argue that Lee’s critique is underdeveloped in three ways. First the term ICT is not clearly defined, yet ther…
Commodifying Africa on U.S. Network Reality Television
Drawing on postcolonial studies, hegemony theory, Marxian commodification, and previous critiques of Africa’s portrayal in colonial narratives, Western news, and tourism advertising, this qualitative study examines Africa’s representation through January 2008 on three U.S. network reality television programs: the CBS hits Survivor and The Amazing Race and the FOX talent contest American Idol in its “Idol Gives Back” fundraiser. Specifically, I as…
Advertising ecotourism on the internet
The increased attention to environmentalism in western societies has been accompanied by a rise in ecotourism, i.e. ecologically sensitive travel to remote areas to learn about ecosystems, as well as in cultural tourism, focusing on the people who are a part of ecosystems. Increasingly, the internet has partnered with ecotourism companies to provide information about destinations and facilitate travel arrangements. This study reviews the literatu…

Liberation, Feminism, and Development Communication
This essay notes the relative neglect of considerations of both liberation and gender in the scholarship and practice of development communication. Liberation perspectives on development, grounded in religion and spirituality, argue for individual and collective empowerment, and therefore appear to offer consistency with feminist thought. In practice, it is unclear to what extent women are included or empowered in applications of liberation theol…

Gender Violence and the Press
Sharing information in Kenya
This essay examines communication and information policy considerations from the standpoint of Kenyan women, particularly rural women. Present policy and the historical and political context in which discussions have been taking place are reviewed. A 1991 seminar provides an illustration of how women's needs are neglected in discussions. Assuming a commitment to represent women's needs in policy making, I suggest four areas that must be addressed…

The Context of Employed Women's Media Use
This study extends the concept of media uses and gratifications by examining media uses in the context of employed women's varied situations, thus addressing one of the criticisms of this widely used theory. The sample for the study consisted of 378 part and full-time employed women who kept week-long diaries emphasizing their media use and accompanying activities. In addition to quantitative analyses of this sample's activities, the diaries of 3…
What Distinguishes Feminist Scholarship in Communication Studies
Feminist theories and media studies
This essay discusses the assumptions that ground radical, liberal, and socialist feminist theoretical frameworks, and reviews and critiques feminist media research. I argue that liberal feminism, which characterizes much U.S. mainstream media research, speaks only to white, heterosexual, middle and upper class women and is incapable of addressing most women's concerns. Radical and structuralist feminist communication scholars, however, tend to fo…
Spending time with the news media
The relationship between media reliance and actual use was examined by conducting a survey of working women. The television reliant did tend to spend more time with television news than with other media, as did the newspaper reliant with newspapers. The radio reliant, however, did not spend more time with radio, suggesting radio to be a more complementary medium. Regardless of the medium most relied on, the time spent with all news media was the …
Developing coorientation measures for small groups
This exploratory study aimed to: (1) extend McLeod and Chaffee's (1973) coorientation measurement model to relations between individual members and their group, (2) incorporate a measure of meta‐meta‐level perceptions in a group (Laing, Phillipson & Lee, 1966), and (3) develop procedures to assess time trends in accuracy, agreement, congruency, and feelings of being understood. Subjects were 12 small‐group members who met 15 times as part of a co…
