Abstract

ABSTRACT Comparing and contrasting the journalistic routines that manifest in a Zimbabwean political satire show, The Week with Cde Fatso, and those manifesting in content from the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation Television, the study argues that political satire’s alternativeness as a form of journalism lies in its journalistic role performance. By subverting conventional journalistic routines, satire can offer an alternative version of journalism that is overlooked by traditional media due to different forces. Under Zimbabwe’s conditions, The Week has risen to fulfil interventionist, watchdog and civic journalism roles that have been neglected by the national broadcaster.

颠覆新闻常规:当政治讽刺介入挑战公共广播国家话语
摘要本研究将津巴布韦政治讽刺节目《与Cde Fatso的一周》中的新闻套路与津巴布韦广播公司电视台的内容进行了比较和对比,认为政治讽刺作为一种新闻形式的可替代性在于其新闻角色的表现。通过颠覆传统的新闻惯例,讽刺可以提供一种因不同力量而被传统媒体忽视的新闻报道的替代版本。在津巴布韦的条件下,《The Week》已经崛起,以履行被国家广播公司忽视的干预主义、监督和公民新闻角色。

期刊介绍: Accredited by the South African Department of Higher Education and Training for university research purposes African Journalism Studies subscribes to the Code of Best Practice for Peer Reviewed Scholarly Journals of the Academy of Science of South Africa. African Journalism Studies ( AJS) aims to contribute to the ongoing extension of the theories, methodologies and empirical data to under-researched areas of knowledge production, through its emphasis on African journalism studies within a broader, comparative perspective of the Global South. AJS strives for theoretical diversity and methodological inclusivity, by developing theoretical approaches and making critical interventions in global scholarly debates. The journal''s comparative and interdisciplinary approach is informed by the related fields of cultural and media studies, communication studies, African studies, politics, and sociology. The field of journalism studies is understood broadly, as including the practices, norms, value systems, frameworks of representation, audiences, platforms, industries, theories and power relations that relate to the production, consumption and study of journalism. A wide definition of journalism is used, which extends beyond news and current affairs to include digital and social media, documentary film and narrative non-fiction.
