How can current debates on 'media capture' be understood within the contexts of Africa and Latin America? This edited collection provides a nuanced exploration of media capture-a critical yet contested concept that examines and illuminates how media can become skewed in favour of power-while also highlighting spaces and strategies of resistance. By adopting a South-South perspective, it brings together scholars focused on these issues in both regions, featuring a dialogue between two leading scholars, Herman Wasserman and Silvio Waisbord in the Foreword. The book not only demonstrates how media practices in Africa and Latin America are influenced by the political economy of their media systems, but also contributes significantly to advancing empirical, theoretical, and comparative research on media in non-Western settings.
