Abstract The overarching aim of this study was to determine how children and children's issues have been framed in the Botswana print media. The study universe consisted of news stories on children and children's issues over a five-year period (2005−09) in Botswana print media. Three newspapers – Mmegi (daily), The Voice and Midweek Sun (weeklies) – were randomly selected for the study. The units of analyses were themes, nature and slant of the news reports. To ensure reliability, two independent coders were contracted to code the content of the news stories. A combination of emergent coding and priori coding was used. The study's findings indicate that the abuse and crime frame has come to dominate the reporting of children in the Botswana media, which is in line with an earlier UK study. As a consequence, the study recommends more scholarly investigation of the issue and calls for frame evolution to more positive portrayals of children.
Contemporary studies of journalism and new media indicate that news audiences prefer to read online newspapers because they are generally interactive, host multimedia content and report breaking news. However, the literature on the impact of digital media technologies on traditional print publication consumption patterns in Botswana and the African continent is hard to come by. Thus, this study, using multistage cluster sampling and focus group discussions, sets out to explore how audience members in Botswana engage with online news vis-á-vis traditional newspapers. It finds out that news audiences have a favorable attitude towards online newspapers but still prefer traditional newspapers, and that in Botswana specifically, access to online and traditional newspapers is influenced by factors such as cost and convenience. The study's findings indicate clearly that while new media technologies continue to influence new trends and practices in journalism globally, audiences' experience with these technologies differ from country to country.
Abstract From the viewpoint of the cultural imperialism hypothesis and its complications, the overall aim of this study was to find out if foreign films still had a stranglehold on Nigerian audience members. The findings indicate that a majority of respondents watch and have a favorable attitude towards Nigerian home video films. However, in terms of preference between local and foreign films, a small percentage indicated preference for the former. The study concludes that the high quality of production of American films accounts for the favorable views held by respondents, even though it is apparent that these and other foreign productions no longer have a captive market in Nigeria.
Die Dialektik von Militär und Demokratisierung untersucht der Sammelband in 13 Beiträgen, immer mit dem Blick auf Nigeria. Er teilt sich in drei Abschnitte: im ersten Abschnitt werden theoretisch orientierte bzw. angeleitete Betrachtungen über das Verhältnis von Demokratie und Militär angestellt, im zweiten geht es um sozio-psychologische, wirtschaftliche und rechtliche Aspekte (u.a. um die Legitimität von Militärherrschaft, um das Prestige von Militärs und um die Verteidigungsausgaben im öffentlichen Haushalt). Der dritte Abschnitt behandelt kulturelle und soziale Aspekte: das Medienimage der nigerianischen Militärs und das AIDS-Problem in der Armee. (DÜI-Sbd)
