[FoME] fesmedia Africa series launched

[Tina Hennecken]

Creating a platform for media dialogue 

Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) launched a new publication series on media
issues in Africa  

 

fesmedia Africa, the media project of the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) on
the African continent,  presented its new publication series earlier this
year. 

 

The research papers address students, media practitioners and the interested
public. Written by experts in the respective field, they cover a wide range
of structural and political issues, like self-regulation of the media, the
use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for public
broadcasting, the role of media in the political process as well as cultural
differences in the journalistic practice. 

 

The fesmedia Africa team is particularly grateful for having won such high
profile authors for the first editions in an effort to engage in the ongoing
debates and to give room to develop and discuss new ideas when it comes to
media work.

 

 

The first 4 series titles include:

 

 Krüger, Franz (2009): Media Courts of Honour. Self-regulatory Councils in
Southern Africa and elsewhere, Windhoek: fesmedia Africa 

 

Berger, Guy (2009): Beyond Broadcasting: the future of state-owned
broadcasters in Southern Africa, Windhoek: fesmedia Africa

 

Lloyd, Libby (2010): Media and Elections in the SADC Region. Protocols and

Nyamnjoh, Francis B. (2010) Africa’s Media. Between professional Ethics and
