It evaluates and critiques these reform processes, arguing that because of dependency approaches resulting from the transplanting of policy framework from the West into these emerging democracies, the policy goals and objectives of the reforms have not been achieved. Consequently, the inherent socio-cultural, economic and political factors, coupled with the historical antecedents of these countries, have also affected the reform process. Drawing from policy documents, analyses and interviews Ufuoma Akpojivi argues that the lack of citizens' active participation in policy processes has led to neo-liberalization and the continued universalization of Western ideologies such as democracy, media freedom and independence. Akpojivi posits that the recognition of socio-cultural, political and economic factors inherent to these emerging democracies, coupled with the communal participation of citizens, will facilitate true media reform processes and development of these countries. Ufuoma Akpojivi is Senior Lecturer in the Media Studies Department at the University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa. His research interests cut across media policy, democratization and new media and citizens' engagement. He is a National Research Foundation (NRF) South Africa rated researcher and a fellow of the African Humanities Program (AHP) of the American Council of Learned Societies.Communication in economic developmentEthnologyAfricaCultureMass mediaPolitical aspectsAfricaPolitics and governmentCommunicationDevelopment CommunicationAfrican CultureMedia Policy and PoliticsAfrican PoliticsMedia and CommunicationCommunication in economic development.EthnologyCulture.Mass mediaPolitical aspects.AfricaPolitics and government.Communication.Development Communication.African Culture.Media Policy and Politics.African Politics.Media and Communication.320.967Akpojivi Ufuomaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut982612BOOK9910300016403321Media Reforms and Democratization in Emerging Democracies of Sub-Saharan Africa2242507UNINA01113nam0 22002891i 450 UON0005836120231205102256.40020020107d1966 |0itac50 baengSANIN|||| 1||||ˆThe ‰Dasakumaracaritaof Dandinwith a commentary....by M.
