- Description: A popular view of tabloids is that they pander to the lowest common denominator of public taste, they simplify complex issues, and they generally fail to provide information that citizens need in order to make informed political judgments - the latter being the raison d’etre of serious newspapers. In summary, tabloids “lower the standards of public discourse” (Ornerbring and Jonson, 2004:283).

- Description: "African journalism" is a composite term, each element of which is problematic, and is open to differing interpretations. I'll deal with each in turn. An identity of any sort is always relational. Thus "Africa" and things "African" have meaning in relation to what is non-African - usually European or American.
