The cornerstone of Post-Apartheid Same-Sex Sexualities: Restless Identities in Literary and Visual Culture by Andy Carolin (2021) is a resolute declaration for South African same-sex literary and visual texts to be interpreted by mapping local and transnational flows, as well as historical and contemporary connections. Carolin refers to the idea of “restlessness” as a means to encapsulate the dynamism and ethos of such a reading, and he is to be lauded for delivering a meticulously researched and innovative study that is immensely thought-provoking.
Andy Carolin（2021）的《后种族隔离的同性性取向：文学和视觉文化中的不安身份》（Post Apartheid Same Sexualities：Restless Identities in Literary and Visual Culture）的基石是南非同性文学和视觉文本的坚定宣言，该文本将通过绘制本地和跨国流动以及历史和当代联系来解读。Carolin将“不安”的概念称为概括这种阅读的活力和精神的一种手段，他提供了一项经过精心研究和创新的研究，非常发人深省，值得称赞。

Abstract In Sub-Saharan Africa, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) incidence rates remain disproportionately high among adolescent girls and young women (AGYW), who are five to seven times more likely to contract HIV than their male peers. Following the 2015 World Health Organization (WHO) Guideline on When to Start Antiretroviral Therapy and on Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV, the South African Department of Health (DoH) released the National Policy on HIV PrEP and Test and Treat (T&T) in June 2016. At the time of writing, several demonstration projects were underway to assess the feasibility of oral PrEP for AGYW in South Africa, with extensive access for sex workers and limited access for AGYW. It is within this context that the article explores the current perceptions of oral PrEP utilising the data from two previous studies conducted in three high HIV burden districts in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN), South Africa. Through an analysis of the current perceptions of oral PrEP, the article prioritises the cultural communication imperative to promote inclusivity and acceptability of biomedical innovations. The article argues that communication about oral PrEP is embedded in cultural discourses that must be discussed, critiqued and incorporated into a new framework for combination HIV prevention.

Abstract The influence of computational propaganda on democratic processes globally has necessitated the exploration of mitigation strategies for political brands. The risk associated with computational propaganda includes the spread of misleading information about a political brand over social networking sites through bots (i.e. automated software applications that are programmed to do certain tasks) and newsfeed algorithms at rapid speeds. Apart from bots being used to facilitate the spread of disinformation (i.e. misleading information spread with the intent to manipulate or deceive), human curators also play a role. Research into addressing computational propaganda in the field of political communication is limited, compelling the need to look to consumer brand experts for insight. The current study used semi-structured interviews of senior consumer brand social media practitioners and applied content analysis to develop a framework for mitigating online brand risk associated with computational propaganda for political brands. This computational propaganda brand risk mitigation framework proposes two approaches to curb the effects of computational propaganda, namely, a preventative approach and a recovery approach. Based on established theoretical and practical concepts, this mitigation framework could guide the easing of online brand risk and associated crises for political brands.

The beginning of 2020 has been marked by the COVID-19 pandemic and its socio-economical effect at a global scale. One of the most negatively influenced sectors is tourism since in a time of limited mobility and lock downs, seems unable to continue producing and offering most of its products and services. Traditional marketing is put aside by the need of two particular types of marketing, that is, social marketing and lateral marketing, which call for the behavioral change of the consumer side, and the creative reaction of the production side, respectively. This essay tries to highlight the importance of these strategies in times of crisis

Abstract This article reports on a study that attempted to understand news and information inequalities by mapping the distribution of broadcast media outlets, the spread of accredited journalists, and the presence of established news bureaus in the eight regions in Kenya. Further, the study sought to determine the ownership of the broadcast media in Kenya and the trends in ownership and audience reach within the context of commercial interest and public interest dialectics. The study was anchored on the theory of the political economy of the media which looks at power relations that influence the production, distribution and consumption of resources from a critical tradition. Based on the analysis of documents, audience research data, and literature on media representation and socioeconomic and political development, the study revealed that Nairobi County is the news and information hub. It has the most journalists, radio stations and news bureaus, whereas far-flung counties exist in news and information deserts. Central region residents were found to consume the least percentage of the non-local language radio stations as they prefer local language or vernacular radio stations Western, South Nyanza (Nyamira and Kisii) and North Western regions are unique in that their consumption of radio with a national target audience is fairly high when the Average Daily Radio Reach (ADRR) of the top five radio stations is considered. Ownership of the radio market is in the hands of five media organisations that share 43.70% of the ADRR. The establishment, audience reach and ownership trends of these media organisations coupled with the spread of journalists and news bureaus revealed news and information inequalities. The audience reach by broadcast media outlets, even in areas where vernacular radio stations provide a rich diet of media content, seems to be more interested in ownership for profit maximisation at the expense of public interest.
