Neg­a­tive and inac­cu­rate news cov­er­age of Africa by West­ern media is a seri­ous issue that needs to be addressed. While the press can build up, it also can tear down and dis­rupt our way of think­ing. While it com­mu­ni­cates pow­er­ful­ly, the press often times works to influ­ence pol­i­cy and shape debates, opin­ions, and actions on…
