References to African heads of government in broadcast news in the United States provides one framework through which the US news audience can better learn about African politics – and arguably one which is less fraught with potential misperceptions than news frames emphasising conflict and underdevelopment. This article reports the findings of a content analysis of various broadcast news programmes in the US over the period 2003–2020, with a view to the impact of that coverage on US foreign policy on Africa. What it reveals is that of the six broadcast news programmes in the study, only three – NPR's All Things Considered, CNN Newsroom and PBS NewsHour – made significant mention of African heads of government, and Egyptian and South African heads of government received disproportionate attention. The proposed result of such skewed news coverage is an impoverished US public opinion, with implications for US foreign policymaking
