“These range from lions and Kalashnikovs – defining Africa according to Western media – something until very recently, a narrative parroted by the rest of the world.RT believes that the local population of each country should set the agenda of what is covered, Brodskaya said.Brodskaya said the “monopoly on narrative” took place on a global scale.
