How did Aljazeera and BBC Cover Gaddafi’s Death?

By Nqobile Mafu

Television is the most used and popular source of entertainment and education. This report will show/or demonstrate that all media production is produced with an audience in mind. News is the easiest tool of sending messages the most common method of relaying information to the public, This project will analyse how different news organisations, the BBC and Aljazeera, cover the same news story and present it to the viewers, depending upon ideological bias. And how ideological bias is the structure of news organisation. The news story I intend to focus on is the coverage of the Libyan uprising and conflict. (My proposed news organisations are BBC News 24 and Aljazeera). The aim of this research project is to explore the difference in media bias of Aljazeera and BBC This project will look at the broadcast news and how ideological bias makes differences. I will look at how news programmes package information and represent it to the viewer's by giving examples. The main questions which are crucial for my research project are as follows;

What is the content?

How was the news edited?

What's the structure of news?

How do they package their news and present it?

How does the news differ between different news organisations?

Was story the fair? Or biased?

How did the organisation cover their story?

What other theorists have said about media bias.

Without culture society would not exist, in fact, “there is no such thing as a human nature independent of culture”. Jenks, C. Culture. London: Routledge (1993). This dissertation will also analyse how the representation of the nation and Cultural difference was made during Gadhafi’s death.

Makosi From Big Brother Saga To Fake Identity

Makosi Musambasi the Zimbabwean most famous female in Big Brother saga has allegedly been "kicked out" of Britain by the UK Border Agency.

Musambasi, who starred in Ultimate Big Brother and Big Brother 6, was stopped by the UK Border Agency at Heathrow after she flew in from Lagos, Nigeria, according to the sources. The only problem in such things is that, appearing on a whole host of reality TV shows and chasing dreams of fame and fortune, people are going to know what you look like!
The reality TV star was reportedly stopped for attempting to use a relative's passport and apparently had approximately £12,000 in cash taken from her, which is currently under investigation.

Musambasi flew back to Lagos, where she lives with her partner, the following day. In 2005 she won an asylum battle to avoid deportation back to Zimbabwe what a shame.

Arts is our pride

Siyaya Arts was started as Nostalgic Actors & Singers Alliance ('NASA) by a small group of five young performers, led by the late Mike Sobiko interested in creating new theatre and music in Makokoba Township in the City of Bulawayo Zimbabwe. The company changed its name to Siyaya Arts, during the 10th anniversary of the founding of NASA. Saimon Phiri was born in 1975 and raised in Nguboyenja. Most people prefer to call him Mbazo. Since his seven fell in love with the arts. “My parents wanted the best and gave me an education other kids could not afford.” Said Mambazo an ambitious self-driven young man has propelled Siyaya Arts from a locally focused group into a dynamic arts act that has earned a global reputation and international awards along the way.

Saimon Mambazo Phiri did not only seek to elevate the group to a higher plane but his ambitious streak moved him to create an institution around Siyaya with the formation of Ibumba Festival, Sabela Music Projects and a publishing project.
Siyaya's founding member and director has written himself into arts history books with his innovative ideas. They have already signed a publishing deal with one of highly recommended imbube group in Zimbabwe, Black Umfolosi. Mambazo said “they will write their biography.”


Siyaya has been touring for the past recent activities have transmitted Siyaya Arts into a unique multi-performance arts company, as evidenced by participation in diverse arts events. To date we have produced more than ten plays and musical which have been performed in most parts of Zimbabwe, venues and festivals in South Africa, Botswana, Zambia, Ghana, Scotland, England, Wales and Germany. Phiri says now it’s time to shine and focus on the local market and his dream is to publish more groups’ biography and arts books.
