Summary: Sorting out the science from the scare tactics - we examine the Ebola stories coming out of Africa. Helping us assess the media coverage of the ebola outbreak are: Robtel Pailey, an academic and researcher based in Liberia; Abdullai Kamara, the president of the Press Union of Liberia; Foreign Policy columnist, Kaleev Leetaru; Sorious Samura, an African filmmaker and journalist; and Rodney Sieh, the editor of the online newspaper, Front Page Africa. Listening Post's feature investigates the relationship between PR firms and image-conscious governments - and how they use the media to do their work.
