Coverage of African countries in Pan-African business magazines : evidence of hierarchy in regional news flowsUbomba-Jaswa, Florence Otae 04 1900 (has links)
This dissertation examines the flow of economic news in Africa, in order to investigate
the potential existence of regional hierarchies in international news flow. The research
was based on a framework of theories on international news flow. A quantitative and
qualitative content analysis of a sample of news articles published in Africa Investor,
African Business and Business in Africa during 2007 and 2008 was analysed. The
quantitative results showed that South Africa received the highest level of coverage and
was covered to a greater extent than any other African country. The qualitative results
indicated that there was clear evidence of regional hierarchy in the coverage of African
countries: South Africa received extensive coverage probably due to the fact that it is
the largest, most advanced and influential economy in the continent. The study showed
that inequality in news coverage is not only a global issue, but also a regional one. / Communication Science / M.A. (International Communication)
