Introduction: The elusive, shape-shifting nature of development in the news -- 1. The "tokenisation" of development in the news -- 2. Journalistic conventions and the geopolitics of development narratives -- 3. The "number game" in development news -- 4. Communicating containment and the Alliance for Progress -- 5. News coverage of foreign aid : a case study of the Millennium Villages Project in Africa, US and UK media -- 6. Disempowering news : the feminisation of development -- 7. New technologies for old ideas -- 8. Malthusianism and news framing of population growth -- Conclusion: Beyond the North-to-South lecture: can the news media ever get to the core of development? -- References -- Index.
Summary: "Developing News sets out to describe how development is articulated in the news and used by newspeople as an analytical category to explain the world. It is about examining development as a discourse that is based on the harmful contrast between the developed and the developing (or the underdeveloped) and that sets the boundaries for what is permissible to say."--Publisher's website.
