Oscar Hemer; Thomas Tufte (eds.)
Göteborg: Nordicom (2016), pp. 139-154
"The images used to market development often feature women, as victims of terrible traditions and disempowering situations, or – more commonly these days – as enterprising agents of change, poised to ‘lift’ economies and their families and communities. These images tell a story of victims an ... more
"Every photography subject deserves to be treated as an autonomous human being, capable of making independent decisions. In case of children, we also need to ensure their parents’ consent. We need to be constantly aware of our position in the power hierarchy — in the development world, in many c ... more
"This handbook provides a distinctly African perspective on how to create direct linkages between consumers of information and development projects by using words and images that communicate and resonate with ease. Development issues can seem dull and flat but they can create a huge impact in societ ... more
"International non-governmental organizations (INGOs) are known to employ freelancers to produce multimedia and to pitch it for them to mainstream news outlets.

"This article considers research approaches often associated with media and journalism studies as complementary assessment strategies to inform decisions associated with evaluating foreign aid. In order to do so, the case of British foreign aid towards Colombia in the context of the War on Drugs is ... more

"El presente estudio se propone describir y analizar las representaciones de la pobreza en los medios gráficos de 8 países de Centroamérica y el Caribe. Para tal fin se ha tomado como referencia un período de 6 meses, entre abril y septiembre de 2008, considerando el cual se realizó un relevami ... more
"In many ways, this book is a simple and straightforward product of social science research. A conceptual expectation was created through the integration and extension of existing theory and research findings.
