Description

Media matters in development, playing a crucial role in promoting democratic participation and state accountability. However, its influence can also be used as a mechanism of surveillance and control, or to disseminate hate speech and propaganda. To understand the complex role of media in development, it's essential to acquire an informed and critical perspective on communication for development (C4D), media development, and media representations of development. This book provides concise introductions to these topics, highlighting both the increasing importance of media and its varied, complex, and contingent impact on social change. With a broad and interdisciplinary focus, this book will appeal to anyone interested in media, communication, development, politics, and social change, offering valuable insights into the multiple roles that media can play.
