In Africa’s Ghost Reporters, Al Jazeera’s Investigative Unit reveals a shadowy influence campaign that uses fake journalists and local media to spread political propaganda, mainly in the French-speaking countries of West and Central Africa.
The investigation uncovers how images of the dead have been used to create fake journalists, how middlemen peddle articles written by people that don’t exist, and how an intricate web of influence eventually leads to a man and organisation with an extensive history of manipulating the truth.
