ABSTRACT This article sets out to investigate the image of China in South Africa’s mainstream English-language newspapers in the context of changing dynamics of Sino-SA bilateral relations, and their respective growing ambitions. To do so, this research adopts a corpus-based method to examine discursive mechanism through which China is represented in South African media. Corpus findings transcend the traditional and often oversimplified dichotomy of partner or predator, and recognise the complexities, contradictions, and changing dynamics of Sino-SA relation. Despite increasingly converging visions on matters of continental and global import, chief challenges faced by these two countries are contested interests over issues of BRICS versus African Agenda, weak bilateral political and public trust, and responsible versus irresponsible China. The findings are discussed in relation to China’s pursuit of soft power and SA’s geopolitical ambitions.

ABSTRACT To mark the 40th Anniversary of African Journalism Studies, it is important to reflect on its contribution to a subfield the journal has built. This essay gives a broad overview of the African journalism subfield’s developments and addresses the journal’s most notable achievements and shortcomings.

In 2015, student activists at the University of Cape added their voices to calls for decolonising “postcolonial” Africa that had been happening since the 1950s (Achebe 1958; wa Thiong’o 1986; Mbembe 2001; Ndlovu-Gatsheni 2013, 2015). Students challenged manifestations of White supremacy on the University of Cape Town campus specifically and at other universities more broadly. They demanded for an end to the violence and dehumanisation of Black people at the institution, a critical rethinking of curricula as well as the removal of hurdles in the tenure process for Black faculty among other issues (UCT: Rhodes Must Fall petition 2015). The commentary that follows adds to the above calls by proposing ways African journalism and media research can be decolonised. In most African countries, the media together with academic research were deeply implicated and complicit in the colonial project. They were used by colonial administrators to legitimise settler colonialism. In the media, Africa was depicted as backward, primitive and uncivilised, a “dark continent” desperately in need of civilising and developing (Zaghlami 2016). These representations of the continent were akin to images in Joseph Conrad’s novel, Heart of Darkness. Achebe (1977, 783) observes that Conrad framed Africa as “‘the other world,’ the antithesis of Europe [...] a place where man’s vaunted intelligence and refinement are finally mocked by triumphant beastiality”. In these narratives, Africans were dehumanised and pathologised, mostly portrayed as barbarians and the inferior Other. In his 1890 book, In Darkest Africa, journalist, author, explorer and colonial administrator Henry M. Stanley constantly referred to people he met in Africa as savages. Fanon (1963) explains that colonial discourses had very little regard for nuance or texture. Fanon (1963, 150) elaborates that “the ‘nigger’ was a savage, not an Angolan or a Nigerian, but a nigger”. Interestingly, the White, middle-class, able-bodied male was framed as superior, sophisticated, civilised and an embodiment of the norm. Some disciplines like psychology, anthropology and biology were notorious for propping up the milieu of ideas that framed Africans as “the least human of all” (Kessi 2016). Bulhan (2015, 249) explains:
2015年，开普大学(University of Cape)的学生积极分子也加入了对“后殖民”非洲去殖民化的呼吁，这种呼声自20世纪50年代以来一直在发生(Achebe 1958;1986年;Mbembe 2001;Ndlovu-Gatsheni 2013, 2015)。学生们特别在开普敦大学校园和其他更广泛的大学挑战白人至上主义的表现。他们要求结束学校对黑人的暴力和非人化，对课程进行批判性的反思，以及消除黑人教师终身教职过程中的障碍等问题(UCT: Rhodes Must Fall 2015请愿书)。下面的评论通过提出非洲新闻和媒体研究可以去殖民化的方法，增加了上述呼吁。在大多数非洲国家，传播媒介和学术研究深深地牵连和串通在殖民项目中。它们被殖民统治者用来使定居者的殖民主义合法化。在媒体上，非洲被描述为落后、原始和不文明，是一个迫切需要开化和发展的“黑暗大陆”(Zaghlami 2016)。这些对大陆的描绘与约瑟夫·康拉德的小说《黑暗之心》中的形象相似。Achebe(1977,783)观察到康拉德将非洲描绘成“‘另一个世界’，是欧洲的对立面……在那里，人类自吹自擂的智慧和优雅最终被胜利的兽性所嘲弄”。在这些叙述中，非洲人被非人化和病态化，大多被描绘成野蛮人和劣等的他者。在1890年出版的《在最黑暗的非洲》一书中，记者、作家、探险家和殖民地管理者亨利·m·斯坦利不断地把他在非洲遇到的人称为野蛮人。法农(1963)解释说，殖民话语很少考虑细微差别或结构。法农(1963,150)阐述说“‘黑鬼’是野蛮人，不是安哥拉人或尼日利亚人，而是黑鬼”。有趣的是，白人、中产阶级、身体健全的男性被认为是优越、老练、文明的，是规范的体现。心理学、人类学和生物学等一些学科因支持将非洲人视为“最没有人性”的观点而臭名昭著(Kessi 2016)。Bulhan(2015, 249)解释说:

ABSTRACT This article examines the early work of Arnold S. de Beer, a founding scholar of journalism studies in South Africa. Drawing on culturalism and autoethnography, a revisionist analysis examines the maturing perspectives of the author over 45 years of interaction with de Beer. The conceptual opposites negotiated include communication science versus media studies, positivism versus cultural studies, and objectivity versus subjectivity. The narrative focuses on how de Beer with Ecquid Novi (EN), and through his publications, shaped journalistic debates in South Africa from 1980 onwards. The junction where the paths of the two scholars converged is framed within a medieval jousting metaphor. This article continues and reassesses an overview written in similar vein in 2004 by the present author on the occasion of EN’s then 25th anniversary.
本文考察了南非新闻研究奠基人阿诺德·s·德比尔的早期作品。借鉴文化主义和自我民族志，修正主义的分析考察了作者在与德比尔45年的互动中成熟的观点。讨论的概念对立包括传播科学与媒介研究、实证主义与文化研究、客观性与主观性。本书的叙述重点是de Beer和Ecquid Novi (EN)以及他的出版物如何塑造了1980年以来南非的新闻辩论。这两位学者的道路交汇的地方是一个中世纪比武的比喻。本文将继续并重新评估现任作者在2004年EN成立25周年之际以类似的风格撰写的概述。

ABSTRACT The media in Zambia have been in a state of uncertainty since Zambia reinstated democratic governance in the early 1990s. Despite promising initial steps to deregulate the media that started under President Chiluba’s government in the mid-1990s, achieving these objectives in successive years has proved difficult. Successive governments have exhibited increasing aversion towards free and independent media, instead increasing efforts to regulate. This is significant, because comparisons with Kaunda’s autocratic era before 1991 cast the state in a friendlier light towards the media, defying normative theories. After both the Media Ethics Council of Zambia and Zambia Media Ethics Council (ZAMEC) failed as self-regulatory mechanisms in the mid to late 2000s, current state efforts have turned to create a hybrid statutory self-regulatory framework. This is a challenge because Zambia’s democracy has come under pressure from increasing political intolerance. Furthermore, while media professionals support the idea of regulation to strengthen professionalism, they often disagree on the value of statutory self-regulation and its implications. This study used the In-Depth Interview approach on 23 media professionals and documentary analysis to sketch the history and future implications of media regulation efforts in Zambia. Results show a checkered past but present an even more complicated future. The history of the Independent Broadcasting Authority shows that the proposed statutory self-regulatory framework presents more challenges to the media than ever before. This paper aims to contribute to global media studies and specifically the problems of regulation, the state, and media freedom in an African context.

ABSTRACT This autoethnography concludes the author’s trilogy on the history of the South African Communication Association (SACOMM) in this 40th anniversary issue of African Journalism Studies, previously titled as Ecquid Novi, a key player since 1981 within the Association. The author discusses paradigmatic contestations and associated administrative arrangements within SACOMM as indicators of post 2000 university managerialism and performance management, in the context of wider political processes. A discussion of naming of the Association reconsiders SACOMM’s origins and history. The successes of the Association in terms of post-apartheid national policy are examined in terms of SACOMM’s achievements and organisational assumptions. Lessons learned are related briefly to other African associations.
