Rövid leírás:
Based on surveys and interviews with journalists in three East African nations (Rwanda, Uganda and Kenya) that have had varying degrees of civil conflict, this book explores how conflict and democratization overlap with the news media and press freedom. The book provides an updated state of press freedom in these three countries and shows how a nation’s political and cultural intricacies complicate traditional media development frameworks and notions of press freedom. The ebb-and-flow of media freedoms in these countries calls for historically informed views of media systems, so this book provides a set of factors to consider when trying to understand press freedom outside the Western world.

Media scholars generally suggest that as people gain access to mass media content, they increasingly support democracy and reject authoritarian rule. Much of the scholarship classifying global media systems has overlooked the world's most developing nations, and among those that have included developing nations, there exists a misguided premise that nations develop in a linear fashion: from non-democracy to democracy, and from a restricted press to a free press. This book shows that much of what scholarship depicts about media systems of developing nations is wrong. In reality, the ebb-and-flow of political change, democratization and backsliding calls for more historically informed views of media systems that do not fit into the confines of existing theories.
Using the perceptions of journalists in Rwanda, Uganda, and Kenya to examine mediascapes at varying stages of development and democracy-building, this book examines the advancement of media and press freedom at varying stages of national development. Drawing on qualitative fieldwork and a cross-national survey, this book provides an updated state of press freedom in these three countries and shows how a nation's political and cultural intricacies complicate traditional media development frameworks and notions of press freedom. A detailed set of considerations are put forth for understanding media systems outside the Western world; specifically, that each country's distance from conflict, political benchmarks, international linkages, and civil society strength are central to understanding its degree of press freedom, development and democratization.
This volume brings new insights into press freedom challenges in three neighbouring East African countries which have different media histories. The book is particularly strong in connecting the media situation with the broader political and social situation in each of the three countries.
