Notes:
2 pages., Author examines implications of Amazon's acquisition of Whole Foods. Suggests possible consequences such as anti-trust charges of monopoly and impact on agricultural businesses and suppliers in the food chain. Also offers advice to reporters in covering this development.
23 pages., Online via open access., How is bilateral development cooperation communicated about in the news? How does a donor agency communicate for and about development? And what are the links between one and the other? This article focuses on a 2016 expose reported on Swedish public television about alleged corruption in aid to Zambia, reflecting failure of both donor and recipient. Authors focus on the news media as mediator of the donor's communication with its tax-paying audiences and demonstrated potentials of an integrated conceptual approach to communication for and about development. Findings reveal greater media coverage of financial accountability than on doing good for Zambian citizens.
