Diaspora Journalism as a Platform for Collaboration between the North and the South

Governments and continental organizations are making policies to harness the potential of their diasporas for national developments. They are engaging with diaspora agencies and diasporic media to project their message and win support for diaspora development projects. However, diaspora journalism is limited by its orientation and connective roles and needs to adopt social responsibility principles to take advantage of this opportunity. However, doing that will make it susceptible to ideological and political influences from homeland governments. Adopting a scoping review, this chapter selectively focuses on the dynamic roles of diaspora journalism between 2000 and 2021 and attempts to offer a critical evaluation of some potentials and challenges of using it as collaboration platforms between the Global North and South.
