This book investigates the ways in which peripheral news actors in digital media are transforming journalism in Zimbabwe.Journalism’s boundaries have become blurred, porous and fuzzy as non‑traditional news actors—such as bloggers, social media influencers, citizen journalists, start‑ups, satirists, comedians and fact‑checkers—gain increasing influence in digital spaces. As legacy news media attempt to ring‑fence the field, journalism becomes both ‘boundaried’ and ‘boundless’. This book examines how peripheral journalistic practices are impacting Zimbabwe—a semi‑authoritarian regime facing significant economic pressures. Taking into account Zimbabwe’s specific sociocultural, political and economic context, this book explores how political issues are mediated by periphery actors, how they deal with challenges to their legitimacy and professionalism, how sustainable their positions are and finally what the implications of shifting journalistic boundaries are for education and training institutions.As the impact of digital technologies continues to rise, this timely book will be an important read for researchers working on journalism, media and communication, and African studies.

Edited by Lungile Tshuma, Trust Matsilele, Shepherd Mpofu and Mbongeni Msimanga, Media, Social Movements, and Protest Cultures in Africa: Hashtags, Humor, and Slogans provides a rich array of protest cultures in Sub-Saharan Africa, delving into the motivations for protests, how protests are carried out and how those targeted by protests try to undermine the protesting movements. Organized into three parts, this book examines social media and social movements, online protest strategies, and media texts used in various protest movements within Sub-Saharan Africa. The contributors shed light on the brutality of various post-colonial regimes in Africa while also giving the reader hope for the current movements that seek to wrestle their societies from the jaws of autocratic leaders. This book offers a theoretically rich and methodologically diverse engagement of protest cultures in countries like Zimbabwe, Nigeria, and Ethiopia. The wide tapestry of how these protests are formulated and executed speaks to Africa's diversity and dynamism. This book makes an important intellectual contribution on social and political movements and is relevant to policy makers and researchers in the social sciences and digital humanities.
