Master's program changing Africans' views

Seasoned journalists and press officials from Africa have been amazed to find that a field trip on discovering China is part of their master's program studies in Beijing.

Olawale Hamzat, a producer with the Nigerian Television Authority, said the image of China he brought from Africa was mostly from Western media and that most of the voices were negative.

"From CNN to BBC to FOXNews, the narratives you get about China are stereotypes - military, hostility, the red flags Some stories are told in a sarcastic way," he said.
