Through the Lenses of the Sociology of News Production
Using Lesotho as our case study and a qualitative methodology consisting of semi-structured interviews with journalists from three of the country's leading newspapers - The Post, News Day and Lesotho Times - the study examined how social media applications are being embraced and changing news production and newsroom cultures in the country. The findings of the study show the pervasiveness of social media applications and their integration into ne…
Comedy as journalism in Zimbabwe
Post-2000, Zimbabwe has witnessed a gradual shrinking of communicative space. In its efforts to control the narrative about the causes of the country’s multi-dimensional crisis, the ruling ZANU-PF government has used a gamut of legal and extra-judicial strategies to stifle press and other related freedoms. In this highly restrictive context, comedy has emerged as a viable source of information about events unfolding in the country as well as an a…

The entertainment-education (E-E) strategy in development communication has been widely described as the panacea to development challenges in Africa. However, despite its growing application on the continent, E-E is still argued to be inhibited from contributing meaningfully toward development efforts. E-E interventions are argued to be hamstrung by their failure to embrace theoretical advances in development communication and E-E scholarship and…
Accounting for youth audiences' resistances to HIV and Aids messages in the television drama Tsha Tsha in South Africa
Theoretical debates and literature on E-E efforts in Africa have largely focussed on understanding how and why interventions on HIV and AIDS are effective in influencing behaviour change among target communities. Very few studies have sought to investigate and understand why a substantial number of targeted audiences resist the preferred readings that are encoded into E-E interventions on HIV and AIDS. Using cultural studies as its conceptual fra…
