"This book is challenging in all the right ways. It challenges our assumptions about the role of autonomy in journalism through a nuanced dive into the overlapping pressures that shape news in semi-authoritarian contexts. It challenges how we understand the ways in which myths and narratives interact with structural constraints to limit what journalists do. It challenges our conceptions of the relationship between transnational journalism and local journalists operating in the Global South. And it challenges us to think about how journalism might look in the many other places that are confronting democratic backsliding and a diminished free press."" - Matt Carlson, University of Minnesota <""Ruth Moon has produced a riveting 'insider' perspective that confronts deeply ingrained assumptions on journalism in Rwanda (and related African authoritarian contexts) and offers a stellar intervention that shows how journalism, and its inner workings vary considerably across the globe. If the ultimate test of the impact of a journalism scholarly book is its transformative potential both to the discipline and on practice and policy, then Authoritarian Journalism can clearly be counted among such innovative pieces of scholarly work.>"" Hayes Mawindi Mabweazara , University of Glasgow"
