Early ball-and-stick games evolved into the game we now recognize as baseball during the mid-1800s.2 This same period also saw the evolution of the sport known as football in Great Britain.

  • African Newspapers Currently Received by American Libraries Compiled by Mette Shayne Revised Summer 1999
    African Newspapers Currently Received by American Libraries Compiled by Mette Shayne Revised Summer 1999 INTRODUCTION This union list updates African Newspapers Currently Received by American Libraries compiled by Daniel A. Britz, Working Paper no. 8 African Studies Center, Boston, 1979. The holdings of 19 collections and the Foreign Newspapers Microfilm Project were surveyed during the summer of 1999. Material collected currently by Library of Congress, Nairobi (marked DLC#) is separated from the material which Nairobi sends to Library of Congress in Washington. The decision was made to exclude North African papers. These are included in Middle Eastern lists and in many of the reporting libraries entirely separate division handles them. Criteria for inclusion of titles on this list were basically in accord with the UNESCO definition of general interest newspapers. However, a number of titles were included that do not clearly fit into this definition such as religious newspapers from Southern Africa, and labor union and political party papers. Daily and less frequently published newspapers have been included. Frequency is noted when known. Sunday editions are listed separately only if the name of the Sunday edition is completely different from the weekday edition or if libraries take only the Sunday or only the weekday edition. Microfilm titles are included when known. Some titles may be included by one library, which in other libraries are listed as serials and, therefore, not recorded. In addition to enabling researchers to locate African newspapers, this list can be used to rationalize African newspaper subscriptions of American libraries. It is hoped that this list will both help in the identification of gaps and allow for some economy where there is substantial duplication.

We examined African media coverage of tobacco industry CSR initiatives to understand whether and how such initiatives were presented to the public and policymakers. We searched two online media databases (Lexis Nexis and Access World News) for all news items published from 1998-2013, coding retrieved items through a collaborative, iterative process. We analyzed the volume, type, provenance, slant and content of coverage, including the presence of tobacco control or tobacco interest themes. We found 288 news items; most were news stories published in print newspapers. The majority of news stories relied solely on tobacco industry representatives as news sources, and portrayed tobacco industry CSR positively. When public health voices and tobacco control themes were included, news items were less likely to have a positive slant.

  • The Influence of Geopolitical Affiliations on Newspapers' Coverage of National Issues
    THE INFLUENCE OF GEOPOLITICAL AFFILIATIONS ON NEWSPAPERS' COVERAGE OF NATIONAL ISSUES ETIM ANIM ABSTRACT Many scholars have asserted that societies greatly influence the operations and functions of the media that operate within those societies. On the basis of the postulations, critical theory of mass communication holds that such media operations and functions would indeed reflect the agenda of the power elite in any society. These postulations formed the basis of this study. Five Nigerian national newspapers (The Guardian, The PUNCH, the Daily Trust, the Daily Times and the Daily Champion) were content analysed tofind out if their coverage of the decision by Nigeria's President Obasanjo to contest the 2003 presidential election was influenced by their relationships with the six geopolitical zones of the country. The study showed that the coverage by these newspapers was significantly influenced by their geopolitical affiliations. INTRODUCTION These scholars indeed point to the Critical theorists of mass agenda-setting function of the mass communication have asserted that a media as being consistent with this nation's mass media generally reflect viewpoint because "the so-called the views of those who hold economic agenda consist of the dominant and political power. Berkowitz (1997), perspectives, which, in practical terms, for instance, argues that when media translate to the agenda of the ruling communication is viewed as the elite" (Griffin, 2000, p. 377). product of unspoken cultural values Contemporary agenda-setting theorists and beliefs by which a people manage seem, in fact, to have come round to their lives, it is plausible to conclude this position. No longer do they posit that journalistic products such as that the press is only "stunningly news, features, opinions, and successful in telling its readers what to investigative reports tend to reflect the think about," now they agree that it has preferences of the dominant power become successful in telling people structures of the particular society.

  • Nigeria: Elections and Issues for Congress
    Nigeria: Elections and Issues for Congress Lauren Ploch Analyst in African Affairs January 19, 2012 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL33964 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Nigeria: Elections and Issues for Congress Summary Nigeria, Africa’s largest producer of oil and its largest democracy, is one of the U.S. government’s key strategic partners on the continent. It is Africa’s most populous country, with over 155 million people, roughly half Muslim and half Christian, and its second-largest economy. Diplomatic relations with Nigeria, which is among the top five oil exporters to the United States, are strong, and the country is a major recipient of U.S. foreign assistance. After 16 years of military rule, Nigeria made the transition to civilian governance in 1999, and emerged as a powerful actor in African politics. Nigeria’s government has mediated disputes in several African countries, and the country ranks fourth among troop contributors to U.N. peacekeeping missions. Nigeria faces serious social and economic challenges, however, that some analysts contend threaten the stability of both the state and the region, and which have the potential to affect global oil markets. The country has faced intermittent political turmoil and economic crises since independence. Political life has been scarred by conflict along ethnic, religious, and geographic lines, and misrule has undermined the authority and legitimacy of the state. Nigeria’s annual oil and natural gas revenues are estimated at over $60 billion, but its human development indicators are among the world’s lowest, and a majority of the population suffers from extreme poverty.

This offer was effective from 6 August 2009 to 4 October 2009 (AFP 1 Oct. 2009; Nigerian Tribune 11 July 2010; Daily Independent 18 Sept. 2009). In writing about the amnesty program’s objectives and deliverables, the Nigerian government identified the following three phases: ■ A disarmament phase to take place between 6 August 2009 and 4 October 2009 and to include the collection of biometric data. ■ A demobilization and rehabilitation phase to last 6 to 12 months and to include the provision of, among other things, counselling and career guidance for the participants. ■ A reintegration phase to last up to five years and to include the provision of, among other things, training and microcredits for the participants (Nigeria n.d.a). Agence France-Presse (AFP) reported in 2010 that through the amnesty program, the Government of Nigeria promised to give the former rebels training, compensation funds and jobs (15 May 2010). In addition, the United Nations Integrated Regional Information Networks (IRIN) indicated that the government was planning to offer the militants a pension, occupational training and microcredit (UN 26 Apr.

  • Watchdog Or Lapdog: Limits of African Media Coverage of the Extractive Sector
    z Watchdog or Lapdog: Limits of African Media Coverage of the Extractive Sector James Christian Canonge + Matthew Purcell with Michael Behrman School of International and Public Affairs COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this study is to evaluate the quality of African media coverage of the extractive industries. This sector plays prominently on the African political, economic, social and journalistic landscape, yet coverage of these industries remains a challenge for African journalists. The financial and technical aspects of the extractive sector are complex, and both governments and companies often have a vested interest in withholding information from journalists. Many reporters lack sufficient training, resources and/or journalistic freedom to publish accurate, well‐researched, in‐depth coverage. As a result, what are arguably some of the most critical industries on the continent operate in relative freedom from public scrutiny. By making a careful study of African media coverage of the extractive sector in three countries, this report hopes to identify key strengths and weaknesses in extractive industry reporting as well as opportunities for media support and the expansion or revision of current media training efforts. The discovery of oil in Uganda in 2006 and in Ghana in 2007 brought both a great deal of excitement and a considerable level of worry to these countries. While extractive resources (oil, gas and mining) are a leading source of wealth for many African countries, this wealth often leads to corruption and conflict. In fact, countries with abundant natural resources tend to fall below less resource‐wealthy countries in terms of human development, a paradox economist Richard Auty and subsequent researchers have labeled the “resource curse.” This report is based on two premises: first, that if Africans are to benefit from the immense resource stores that lie beneath their soil, great efforts must be made toward transparency in how these resources are handled.

  • Reporters Without Borders Nigeria-S-07-05-2012,42570.Html
    Reporters Without Borders http://www.rsf.org/nigeria-daily-abuses-suffered-by- nigeria-s-07-05-2012,42570.html Africa - Nigeria Journey into fear Daily abuses suffered by Nigeria’s journalists 7 May 2012 Following World Press Freedom Day on May 3, Reporters Without Borders takes a look at the breaches of freedom of news and information in Nigeria during the first quarter of 2012, turning the spotlight on one of the most dangerous countries in Africa for journalists. For the first time, it has included the Islamist militia Boko Haram in its latest list of Predators of Freedom of Information, just published. The press freedom organization outlines all breaches of freedom of information recorded between 24 December and 24 March. It highlights the almost daily arrests and assault of journalists and the obstruction of access to, and distribution of, information, and describes the insidious atmosphere in which journalists have to carry out their work. During the period in question, Reporters Without Borders recorded: the murder of one journalist, the killing of another with no proof that it was linked to the victim’s work, nine assaults, seven arrests, three journalists threatened, four instances of seizure of equipment or deletion of files, three cases of access to information being cut off, three court cases against journalists and news organisations, the closure of a press centre and a media outlet’s premises vandalised. The report also covers disturbances in April when there were bomb attacks on the offices of two newspapers, in Abuja and Kaduna. Whether these abuses – obstruction of information and control of the government’s image, or gratuitous violence and threats – were carried out by the government or private organizations using armed groups, they confirm the authorities’ desire to silence journalists who try to report on the instability now gripping the country.
