Abstract:In this article the author criticizes the loss of contact with the public in African journalism. The growing role of the citizen in journalism, under the influence of globalization and social media, is often suggested, but the author contests this point of view. He suggest one tool to improve this: 'cultural translation', which reaches out to recipients with a set of means they recognise. He then investigates if and how 'cultural translation' is being practiced in African journalism. Bibliogr. [ASC Leiden abstract]
