Abstract and citation via UI Library Catalog subject term search/Ebscohost.com., Study revealed that what editors applaud as their contribution to the development of northern Ghana was simply publishing challenges of the North in their various media outlets. Media stories fell short of fulfilling the tenets of development journalism in order to enhance progress in deprived communities. It proposed the re-orientation of journalists to play development advocacy roles.

Opinion article, Via online digital edition. 1 page., Editor speaks to inaccuracies in politicians' descriptions of "farting cows" as a significant factor in greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S.
19 pages., Via online journal., This article discusses two main issues: the historical invisibility of the role of animal
agriculture in climate change and whether it is useful to include explicit violent images
or “moral shock” of farmed animals in environmental advocacy campaigns to fight
against climate change and environmental devastation. The claim will be explored
at two levels: ethical and strategic. According to the current literature available, it
will be argued that we have sound arguments to believe that using images of farmed
animal suffering (including explicit violent images and moral shocks) is both an ethical
and effective approach to reach the end of speciesist oppression and to mitigate
climate change.
