Developments in online media point to interesting possibilities for African engagement in the global public sphere. African subjects are taking their places as audiences and agents, rather than receivers of aid and information.

Sean Jacobs is a faculty member of The New School in New York City and the founder of the popular Africa is a Country blog.

Wendy Willems is a Lecturer in the LSE Department of Media and Communications.
