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.

Abstract and citation online via search of Ebscohost.com. 1 page., This article deals with the deliberation of development journalism as a subfield of development communication. It further examines the connection between public journalism and development journalism. The development journalist "should be an active community participant in social change. He or she cannot be a neutral observer who adheres to objectivity. The journalist must relate development to people and focus on relations and the totality of concrete life situations. He or she must go well beyond economics and bring out the inherent drama in development, democracy, and participation."
