Professor Nancy Booker - A look back at the first season | Media in Africa #10
Series 1 of The Media in Africa Podcast was never only about explaining things. It was about understanding and appreciating the continent's media landscape, and holding up a mirror so we can straighten our tie and fix our hair. For the season finale, Georja Calvin-Smith is joined by Professor Nancy Booker, Dean at Aga Khan University in Nairobi. Listening to the first nine episodes, she found herself scribbling notes to share with her students, and she sees the conversations as a rich resource for anyone learning about media on the continent.
Media in Africa is a Meridian17 podcast on the people who make African media — press freedom, funding, shifting audiences and how the continent is covered abroad — hosted by Georja Calvin-Smith. Produced in partnership with the KAS Media Programme Sub-Saharan Africa; editorial control rests with Meridian17.
