Notes:
This book is a product of the 9th Biennial Conference of the African Council for Communication Education at Accra, Ghana, October 18-21, 1994., Chapter 16 in Charles Okigbo (ed.), Media and sustainable development. African Council for Communication Education, Nairobi, Kenya. 506 pages.
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.
