Conversations From The Leading Edge

In the international Covid coverage there’s a tendency for uplifting Global North countries in their efforts of control and solution creation while undermining Global South countries, as places bound to be the scenario of the worst calamities, incapable of responding efficiently to the crisis or where good covid response numbers are something surprising. Narratives are yet another aspect of the Covid-19 crisis that has been shaped by colonialism. In the final episode of this series, we talk about the harm that hegemonic distorted narratives present and dive into the stories that do not get to be in the headlines. Our guests are Bianca Santana, a journalist and writer from Brazil, a participant of Uneafro and the Black Coalition for Rights; and Alpha Daffae Senkpeni, a multimedia journalist from Liberia and the Executive Director and Editor of the Local Voices Liberia Media network. ****** GREAT NEWS ****** Why Rwanda Is Doing Better Than Ohio When It Comes To Controlling COVID-19: NPR https://www.npr.org/s
