Many factors of press freedom are considered, including the impact of public order and national security laws on tabloids in North Africa, the impact of defamation laws on tabloids in West Africa, the impact of the fake news laws on tabloids in East Africa, and the impact of sedition and treason laws on tabloids in Central Africa.

In doing so, it also builds an understanding of the evolution of anti-corruption tabloid journalism in Africa and gains insights into the relationship between the anti-corruption actions of the state and the anti-corruption reporting by tabloid journalists focusing on major corruption scandals.

Airbus has been making some unwelcome headlines in the past few months. This iconic European corporation has undergone a turbulent period due to the problems surrounding the Airbus A380 project. It was a flagship product that was meant to carve out an unassailable competitive advantage for Airbus. But it did not go very well. The Airbus A380 aircraft was a ground breaking concept that was meant to propel EADS into a unique market segment. Instead, it threatened the very existence of the company and served as a catalyst for major surgery and a reorganization of the corporation, starting from top management down to the production floors.

This book provides a timely and important summary of tabloid journalism in Africa, which clearly shows how tabloids in the African context play a unique role in the democratization process.
