Reviews
"Rethinking Media Development through Evaluation is an important book for those interested in the two key terms in its title – media development and evaluation. Providing original insights and critiques based on research on the ground with media and communication practitioners, Noske-Turner has provided us with an optimistic yet cautionary perspective on how we might view the intersection of media development and evaluation, and how we might revise and improve our approaches to each." (Professor Jo Tacchi, Loughborough University in London, UK)
"This book provides a critical approach for engaging with the fundamental questions that face the field of media development today, especially in relation to evaluation. It is based on comprehensive fieldwork, intensive engagement with the industry and passionate exploration of past and present literature. This enables JNT to offer us a fantastic account of the theory and practice of media development beyond western notions of freedom and independence." (Dr Linje Manyozo, RMIT University, Australia)
