Dear colleagues, Please find bellow the details of our new book: 'Developing News. Global journalism and the coverage of "Third World” development’ by Jairo Lugo-Ocando, An Nguyen (Rutledge, 2017) which is now out. Developing News isn’t just another study of “development” but a thorough, briskly written and radically new take on what Western media have retained from decades of change in the “Third World” and reported them to Western readers. Read this book to learn how the public’s interpretation of the global South has been shaped, mis-shaped and riddled with ideology. Then lend it to your favourite, or least-favourite, journalist. -Susan George, President of the Transnational Institute and author of 'How the Other Half Dies: The Real Reasons for World Hunger' (Penguin, 1976) ‘At last, a comprehensive and historically-informed discourse on development by two scholars from the global South: Lugo-Ocando and Nguyen provide a powerful critique of development news and news about development. Highly recommended’. - Daya Thussu, Professor of International Communication, University of Westminster, London Please feel free to order it for your library: https://www.routledge.com/Developing-News-Global-journalism-and-the-coverage-of-Third-World-development/Lugo-Ocando-Nguyen/p/book/9780415621823 -------------------------------------------------------- MeCCSA mailing list -------------------------------------------------------- To manage your subscription or unsubscribe from the MECCSA list, please visit: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?SUBED1=MECCSA&A=1 ------------------------------------------------------- MeCCSA is the subject association for the field of media, communication and cultural studies in UK Higher Education.
