Abstract

The recent violence following Kenya’s elections was a profound challenge to journalism in and about Africa. On the one hand there were accusations that foreign media were exaggerating the violence and simplifying a complex political struggle into cliches about tribal hatred. On the other hand there were fears of a Rwanda-style media hate campaign fanning the flames of community conflict. Now James Dean, a highly-respected “media for development” analyst at the BBC World Service Trust has published a report on all aspects of the media and the Kenya crisis.
