Western Media Reinforce Negative Perceptions of Africa Through Selective Coverage: African Official"These media outlets only report on what is going wrong. There is little mention of successes. They portray a continent in difficulty, unable to get out of its predicament. This reinforces pessimism," Pema Neya, a representative of the Burkina Infrastructure Works Agency, told Sputnik Africa on World Information Day. Some French and British media outlets are also “an extension of the diplomatic channel,” Neya said.“They use these state-run media outlets to spread what they want the population to hear,” he noted.He concluded by urging African nations to reclaim sovereign media space and control their informational landscapes.Subscribe to @sputnik_africa Sputnik Africa | X
