 | | The broadcast network news organizations are covering Africa, albeit “scantily,” and a “disproportionate” percentage of that coverage revolves around celebrities, with little information about the continent or the people who live there, according to a study by the media monitoring organization, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR). |
 | | Monitoring news coverage of Africa in 2005 and 2006, FAIR made two discoveries: The networks rarely do stories about the continent (unfortunate, though not exactly surprising) and when they do, it's usually because a Hollywood celebrity is involved. |
