W. Joseph Campbell, longtime newspaper and wire service jourbanalist, examines the origins and development of the ethos of independent jourbanalism in two former single-party states in francophone West Africa—Benin and Côte d'Ivoire. In both countries since the late 1980s and early 1990s, a diverse and outspoken press, free of direct state control, has emerged and taken hold.Campbell shows how the ethos of independent jourbanalism can emerge from disparate sources and dissimilar historical legacies, despite prolonged periods of repression and autocratic rule. In Benin, the ethos of independent jourbanalism has been shaped by traditions of expressing dissent through the press—traditions established during the long period of French rule. The etiologies of independent jourbanalism in Côte d'Ivoire include policies of the post-colonial regime that sought to channel and constrain dissent and dissident opinion within state structures. Demonstration effects of freely circulated French-language titles also helped shape and give rise to independent jourbanalism in Côte d'Ivoire. The dominant trend in the press in both countries has been toward daily periodicity—a trend that suggests a resilience and little-recognized hardiness of jourbanalism in Africa. Campbell draws on extensive interviews with Beninese and Ivorian jourbanalists to challenge the pessimism that defines most studies of Africa's press. This is an important study for scholars and researchers of jourbanalism in the developing world, particularly West Africa, and for students of African political life.
