After hearing about the coup in sounds-like-Nigeria Niger last Thursday morning, I decided to run a little experiment to see how many mainstream media sources would report a coup in totally-different-country-from-Niger Nigeria. I set up a Google Alert for “coup Nigeria” and waited to see how many hits it would return.
It's also a list of magazines, journals and other printed paraphernalia that I would love to someday hold in my hands. Maybe you could help me out. Email me at aaron (dot) leaf (at) gmail (dot) com.
Q: Are you aware that Africa is a large continent with thousands of cultures and shouldn't be portrayed as some singular entity.
A: Yes, I am.
Q: Do you speak any other African language other than English?
