Hello World: media

Hello World!
I always wonder why the media always portrait Africa in a negative way….
The typical stereotype image most people have of Africa is always a child with flies around his/her face

If not, we will be thinking of Africa as a land of war,

dispute,

political instability,

famine

or aids

I then wonder:

If the beautiful picture that Camara Laye portrait for La Guinea in his book L’Enfant Noir did exist…

are the African values, cultural richness

, tradition

and Conakry as wonderful as he describes

If the African flora

and fauna

really striking as they are pictured in the Kirikou cartoon?

When will I see such coverage on Africa making the headline on the CNN, France 24 or BCC World and on our local media?

Africa is indeed a beautiful country far from the gloomy and dark image shown by the media

Cheers

Hello World!
Hope you had a great Xmas

This season festive is also about chocolate and no need to tell you that most TV channels are invaded with chocolate ads and one of them that really love is the Ferrero Rocher Pub Olympe and Ulysse ….the ads are just super cool really creative and nice to watch…

Enjoy…..
