Sistemas de Média na África Subsaariana. Variedades de pluralismo polarizado?
Abstract
In this article, African Media Barometer data and secondary literature are used to analyze and cluster the different media systems in Sub-Saharan Africa, a region of the globe that has received little attention from comparativist communication scholars. We show that these media systems can be grouped into three relatively homogeneous groups from a political, linguistic and/or colonial legacy point of view. These groups are very similar in terms of media market development, State intervention, political diversity and journalist professionalization. However, none of these groups perfectly mirrors the ideal types of the Hallin and Mancini model, constituting three hybrid models of different nature.
