In The Press and Political Culture in Ghana, Jennifer Hasty looks at the                  practices of journalism and newsmaking at privately owned and state-operated daily                  newspapers in Ghana. Hasty decodes the styles and uncovers the strategies that                  characterize Ghana's major printed news media, focusing on the differences between                  news generated by the state and news that comes from private sources. Not only are                  the angles radically different, but so are ways of gathering the news, assigning                  beats, using sources, and writing articles. For all its differences in presentation,                  however, Hasty shows that the news in Ghana projects a unified voice that is the                  result of a contentious and multifarious process that joins Ghanaians in global,                  national, and local debates. An important engagement with the production of news and                  news media, this book also explores questions about the relationship of popular                  culture to state politics, the expression of civic culture, and the role of the                  media in constituting national and cultural identities.
