This is a must-read collection for undergraduate and post-graduate students and researchers in the field of media studies, journalism and communication as well as media professionals, policymakers, and anyone keen to know more about how technology is implicated in media production cultures in the Global South. - Professor Tendai Chari, University of Venda, South Africa Tackles issues- including the use of technology for good, social media and news production, algorithms and consumption patterns, and changes to language dynamics-that will remain relevant for the next few decades to come. - Prof Glenda Daniels, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa. This volume delves into the intricate relationship between technology and media production, emphasizing its influence across political, socio-economic, and cultural contexts. Technology now plays a central role in producing and distributing news and Ads, fundamentally altering the media landscape. However, there has been limited exploration of the broader implications of these advancements, particularly from the perspective of the Global South. This edited volume seeks to address this gap by featuring papers that examine how technology has reshaped newsroom and advertorial processes in countries like Malawi, South Africa, and Nigeria.

He conducts research on digital media, digital politics, artificial intelligence and digital culture. He is a Mentor of Digital Media Innovators at the International Press Institute (IPI).
