Journalism and Social Media
in Africa

Through innovative research studies and expert commentaries, this book documents the fast evolving invention of the relationship between the millions of social media and mobile phone users around Africa and traditional purveyors of news. Whilst social media demonstrates an unprecedented ability for the politically engaged to both bypass and influence traditional information flows, it also faces unique circumstances throughout much of Africa. Signs of social change brought by mobile technology are evident around the continent, raising questions about the nature of information exchange and citizenship.

Working from a wide variety of perspectives and methodologies, the contributors to this collection address key questions emerging from rapid communication change in Africa. The volume reveals how new, participatory, interactive communication technologies are enabling new tellings of Africas stories.

This book was originally published as a special issue of Ecquid Novi: African Journalism Studies.

Chris Paterson is a senior lecturer and leader of the MA in International Communication at the School of Media and Communication at the University of Leeds, UK. He has published extensively on news agencies, international journalism and communication in Africa.
