On 12 December Francis Fogue Kuate will defend his PhD thesis in the University Hall. His thesis explores the interplay between media, politics and religion in Northern Cameroon, from the French colonial period (1916-1960) to the beginning of the 21st century. His research shows that media play a central role in shaping the debate on Muslims and Christians. Both religious groups use media for political competition and religious representativeness.
