Africa in Focus with Professor Milton Allimadi, publisher Black Star News, New Yorks leading Afro-centric perspective investigative newspaper and who also teaches community based journalism seeks to empower community journalists and break the monopoly of corporate media
Building Bridges speaks with Milton Allimadi, author of The Hearts of Darkness about how white writers created the racist image of Africa. He critiques Western media's "tribalization" of African news coverage, beginning with the accounts of the European so-called explorers who went to "discover" Africa in the 18th and 19th centuries and including the coverage of Africa by Western newspapers such as The New York Times. He goes on to telescope the election in Congo, discusses Chinas interventions on the continent and critiques AFRICOMs ongoing military incursions and US foreign policy to various of the African countries.
