Itunesbm273 Spam Producers and Fishing Rights in West Africa
One of my all time favorite guests on the program, Ivory Coast based journalist Pauline Bax, came to visit me in Amsterdam last week. We sat down to talk about her work on the topics of people who work in the spam business in Ivory Coast and the fishing industry in Mauritania.
Highly recommended, as always, her blog from West Africa
We discuss:
- Types of news in demand in west africa
- What is the profile of a spam maker
- How do they make any money
- How do they rationalize what they do
- How did Pauline manage to get them to talk to her
- Mauritania, the circumstances of her visit
- Fishing rights, who has them
- Environmentalism versus Generating Income
- Quality of Life in Mauritania
- The European Union and Fishing Regulation
- and much much more…
