“The media focus on crisis and suffering has virtually erased the perception that people in African countries are capable of taking action themselves," says @meljbunce. @mensbirte #journalism dandc.eu/en/article/journali…

Journalists’ work is increasingly intertwined with that of civil-society organisations. This has an impact on the image of African countries abroad.

Der Krieg in der Ukraine oder das Erdbeben im türkischen-syrischen Grenzgebiet seien Beispiele für sehr gute Berichterstattung, sagt die Medienwissenschaftlerin Melanie Bunce. Doch überlagerten sie gleichzeitig auch andere Krisen in der Welt. zeit.de/kultur/2023-02/melan…

Melanie Bunce: "Erschütternde Bilder schaffen Aufmerksamkeit, aber auch Probleme"

Medien berichten viel über das Erdbeben in Syrien und der Türkei, aber wenig über Hunger in Malawi. Melanie Bunce will das durch einen "humanitären Journalismus" ändern.

The book explores the work of a small, specialist group of humanitarian journalists do things differently from conventional reporters. They occupy a space between the worlds of journalism and the field of humanitarian action. And this shapes the news they make.
