Episode Description
In this episode of Panel 54, hosts Waweru Njoroge and Ndu Okoh sit down with journalist Tom Mukhwana and author Babior Newton to tackle one of the biggest questions of our time: who gets to tell Africa’s story?
We dive deep into the media and power dynamics that shape the global narrative, asking the tough questions: Why do conflicts in Sudan and the DRC go largely ignored while Ukraine and Gaza dominate headlines? How do foreign powers like China influence African sovereignty through mining deals and arms shipments?
Can African writers and journalists reclaim their voice amidst global media biases and publishing barriers?
From censorship and geopolitics to cultural critique and economic power plays, we explore the fight to control Africa's narrative. This isn't just a conversation—it's a critical reframing of how the world sees the continent.
Tune in to discover how we can reclaim our story before others write it for us.
Conclusion
Keep listening, because clarity is within reach. Our guests trace the lines that shape the world and leave you with something to act on.
