“Nowhere in the world does the media focus more upon crisis coverage than in Africa,” said Dr. Djibril Diallo of the United Nations and co-chair of the NABJ World Affairs Task Force. “The stories about the economic resurgence of many African countries, of the resilience of African people in the face of enormous challenges still needs to be told. The result of this unbalanced coverage is far reaching with dangerous distortion of Africa's image in the eyes of the outside world,” Dr. Diallo added.
