Media advocacy faces several challenges in practice, as it is often inhibi ... more

While development communication and public diplomacy are established research fields, there is little scholarship that seeks to understand how the two areas relate to one another ... more

The advent of image-intensive digital spaces such as Instagram has facilitated communication for these institutions, making ‘development’ more accessible to the public. However, the representation ... more

Celebrities in Global Development

In: The Routledge Companion to Global Popular Culture
New York; London: Routledge (2017), pp. 128-136

The wealthy few are applauded for their noble gestures toward helping the projected grateful beneficiaries. These narratives of individual sacrifice and bene ... more

Advocacy for global social justice demands a different accountability through critical ... more

In: The Handbook of Development Communication and Social Change
Chichester: Wiley Blackwell (2014), pp. 411-425

Citizen watchdog groups (Veedurias) attempt to critically understand public narratives beyond first order meanings that a ... more
