Acknowledgements
This book was first discussed with Cecil Nsambila Mbolela who works for America Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago and Graeme Mutantabowa, the Principal Budget Officer at African Development Bank in Cote D’Ivoire. I also discussed this book with Mwamba Peni, the Public Policy Specialist in the Presidency at Cabinet Office, Lusaka, Zambia. The idea for this book was to investigate how far sensational tabloid journalism in Africa can go to hold abusers of public finances to account. I am also particularly grateful to Heloise Harding, the Editorial Assistant—Journalism, Media and Communication, at Palgrave Macmillan, Macmillan Publishers for having been very supportive and helpful in having this work getting published. I am also grateful for the support of many tabloid journalists I have had the opportunity to meet around the African continent currently working with tabloid newspapers in Africa. I further extend my special thanks to Bruce Mutsvairo who is an Associate Professor at the University of Technology Sydney’s School of Communication, Australia, for his regular support. Besides, I would also like to thank Professor Anita Biressi and Professor Heather Nunn at the University
