Africa’s media landscape is changing rapidly and has been characterized by increased media access among the youth (Silver & Johnson, 2018; Commey, 2020; Boulianne & Theocharis, 2020). The re-democratization and media liberalization wave of the 1990s expanded media availability significantly, bringing particularly radio and TV close to young people. But perhaps the biggest catalyst to the growth in access to, and use of media among young people across the continent has been the significant expansion in internet access and its affordance of access to new media. }, number={1}, journal={Journal of Communications, Media and Society (JOCMAS)}, author={Kwami , Janet and Yeboah-Banin, Abena A.}, year={2022}, month={Dec.}, pages={1–9} }
