FOREIGN JOURNALISTS URGED TO REPORT FAIRLY ON AFRICA Wednesday, 22 May 2013 06:52 |
An African journalist urged foreign counterparts to report fairly on Africa. Shaka Ssali, who hosts Voice of America’s “Straight Talk Africa”, said all news emanating from Africa are skewed to continue what he described as “furthering neo-colonization mentality.” He said most foreign journalists reporting about Africa do not have adequate background information of the continent and manipulate their stories to show the “Africa boiling in conflict”. Dr Ssali called on the government to support local journalists to enable them participate in nation building process of African’s newest country. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "South Sudan Info - The Kob" group.
