Abstract
The press and political culture in Ghana by Jennifer Hasty takes important steps towards examining Ghana's news discourse in the 1990s. The culmination of Ghana's liberalization process, dynamics that evolved in its political contestation, and the process of establishing democracy are all characterized by this time period. The book's central claim is that "Ghana's press project a unified voice, which stems from the diverse and contentious processes that engage the nation in local and international debates and are characterized by the production of news that is influenced by politics and popular culture, which is largely determined by the state.
