PALGRAVE STUDIES IN JOURNALISM AND THE GLOBAL SOUTH Different Global Journalisms Cultures and Contexts Edited by Saba Bebawi · Oxana Onilov Palgrave Studies in Journalism and the Global South Series Editors Bruce Mutsvairo Auburn University Auburn, AL, USA Saba Bebawi University of Technology Sydney Ultimo, NSW, Australia Eddy Borges-Rey Northwestern University Qatar Ar-Rayyan, Qatar This series focuses on cutting-edge developments in journalism in and from the Global South and illuminates how journalism cultures and prac- tices have evolved from the era of colonization to contemporary globaliza- tion. Bringing previously underrepresented research from the Global South to the English speaking world, this series will focus on a broad range of topics within journalism including pedagogy, ethics, history of journalism, press freedom, theory, propaganda, gender, cross-border col- laboration and methodological issues. Despite the geographical connota- tions of the term ‘Global South’ the series will not be defined by geographical boundaries, as Western countries are home to millions of immigrants and the contributions of immigrant journalists will be covered.

Hence, the editors of this book would like to acknowledge and thank the authors who contributed their insightful works towards this book. We would also like to acknowledge and thank the reviewers, editors and publisher.
