Explain 3 important roles of the south african media with regard to the covid 19 pandemic
Answers
Answer:
It is often said, with reason sometimes, that much of what is known about Africa around the world comes from narratives created and images carefully curated by the media, often global media. African media is often said to either play the role of unsuspecting facilitators of such narratives, in cases where it plays the part of ‘local partner’ for international media houses, or direct, stand-alone, purveyors of such narratives, as they seek to satisfy international news hunger for clichéd African stories by simply feeding such hunger with stories that affirm its prejudices.
Others say that African media players do not always make enough effort to deliberately correct misconceptions about the continent or, at least, counter much of the negative stories making the rounds in global media with positive ones that depict a continent of many narratives, with a plethora of positive stories just waiting to be told. Much of what currently circulates out there is focused on the usual themes of poverty, political and economic instability, corruption, poor health facilities and services, etc.- the global hunger for which seems insatiable.
