Abstract
ABSTRACTThis study explored how elite press in Britain and the United States framed the 2014 Ebola outbreak compared to how three West African countries covered the same epidemic. This comparison showed that the press in Britain and the USA emphasised the limitations of the African continent, resorting to ancient stereotypes about the continent to make sense of the situation. The media is West Africa, highlighted the broader implications of the outbreak on the African continent. The findings in this study have broader consequences that border on systemic approaches to coverage of health.
