Celebrating my ⁦‪⁦‪@WitsPolitics‬⁩ student, #TintswaloChauke, for winning the Honours Research Essay Prize. It was a pleasure supervising her dissertation on State Intelligence in Ghana during the Cold War. She is brilliant and among the few who got distinctions in research in our department. 👏👏👏

Probably one of the first books to present a closer look at how digital technologies are transforming African newsrooms. The book shows using empirical evidence what is happening and changing in different African newsrooms. Coming out soon!
