"The goal of this special issue is to revisit the terms of the debate about the "de-westernization" of communication studies and related issues such as the globalization, internationalization, cosmopolitanism, and indigenization of academic knowledge." (Abstract)
"In the late 1990s and 2000s, a number of calls were made by scholars to "internationalize" or "dewesternize" the field of media and communication studies. I argue that these approaches have indirectly silenced a much longer disciplinary history outside "the West" that has not only produced empirica ... more
"This is the first collection to de-Westernize the scholarship on women, politics and media by: 1) highlighting the latest research on countries and regions that have not been ‘the usual suspects’; 2) featuring a diverse group of scholars, many of non-Western origin; 3) giving voice through pers ... more

Bridging the Cultural Gaps in Journalism Training and Education in Asia

Singapore: Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS) (2013), 186 pp.
"Governments in parts of Asia and media scholars have alluded to a form of journalism that should reflect ‘Asian cultural values’ rather than defer to media practices and media cultures of the West. These are commonly attributed to a cultural preference for consensus rather than confrontation, o ... more

The criticism has resulted in the submission of alternative African journalism models such as ujamaa journalism, ubuntu journalism and oral discourse journalism. The present article reviews a numbe ... more
"The rise of postmodern theories and pluralist thinking has paved the way for multicultural approaches to communication studies and now is the time for decentralization, de-Westernization, and differentiation. This trend is reflected in the increasing number of communication journals with a national ... more
"Journalism programmes across the African continent have different attitudes to the issue of universal vs. local values in journalism. This article discusses the issue in light of a post-graduate journalism programme that opened at Addis Ababa University in 2004. In its 5-year implementation phase, ... more
"While the scholarship on communication theory has evolved over many years in Africa it is still work in progress. This discourse has been anchored in society's cultural milieu.
