Mass media in Africa

This week Lumumba’s Africa turns a critical eye to mass media. In an era of digital revolution, we ask who controls Africa’s narrative. This is more than news; it’s a struggle for the continent’s soul and the fight to build a media that is truly of, by, and for the people – an independent pillar for an independent Africa.

Mass media in Africa
Lumumba’s Africa focuses on the past and current issues affecting the African continent; Filmed amidst the beautiful landscapes of Kenya and hosted by Professor P.L.O. Lumumba, the show looks at the many dichotomies of Africa: why are some of the economies thriving while others stall; why conflicts emerge and refuse to die down, and why despite colonialism being ‘gone’, it still ruins the prosperity of nations.
