      abstract = {This book takes television news seriously. Over the course  of nine chapters, Elections and TV News in South Africa  shows how six democratic South African general elections,  19942019, were represented on both local and international  news broadcasts. It reveals the shifting narratives about  South African democracy, coupled with changing and  challenging political journalism practices. The book is  organised in three parts: the first contains a history of  South African democracy and an overview of the South  African media environment. The second part is a visual  analysis of the South African elections on television news,  exploring portrayals of violence, security, power, and  populism, and how these fit into normative news values and  the ruling partys tightening grip on the media. The final  part is a conclusion, a call to action, and a suggestion to  improve political journalistic practice. Bernadine Jones is  Lecturer in Journalism at the University of Stirling, UK.  She was the Next Generation in Social Science Fellow at the  University of Cape Town where she completed her PhD, and  has published on visual analysis methodology, African  representation in news, and political journalism during  elections. She is proudly South African.},
